The Canucks are near the top of the Pacific Division. The Sharks are in the basement. The Sharks are definitely in for a long season. They're still going to fight hard when hosting a division rival though. Their poor record allows us the opportunity to get an extra +1.5 goals. The Canucks' last three visits here have ALL been tied after regulation. Final scores were 6-5, 4-3 and 5-4. Vancouver won them all but none by more than a goal. This will likely be another close one. ***puck-line club
