Canucks vs Blues Prediction

For a moneyline bet, I’m backing the Blues to secure a victory over the Canucks at home. With the moneyline currently set at -117, I’m locking in my bet on the Blues straight-up.

When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Canucks to cover. Even in the event of a Blues victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Canucks should cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will exceed that mark, and we strongly advise placing a bet on the over.
