Blackhawks vs Canucks Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Canucks coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -249, I’d recommend looking to the spread as our projections have the Canucks winning by more than one goal.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Canucks to secure the win and cover. Expect the Canucks to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Blackhawks.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
