Devils vs Canucks Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Canucks to take down the Devils at home. With the moneyline currently at -114, I’m placing my bet on the Canucks straight-up.

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

With an over/under line sitting at 6.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
