Golden Knights vs Canucks Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Canucks to pick up on a win over the Golden Knights at home. With the moneyline sitting at +126, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Canucks straight-up.

Our projections have the Canucks pulling out a win as the underdog. But if you’re not as bullish as we are on the Canucks, we’d recommend at least getting a bet down on them to cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
