Blues vs Canucks Prediction

For a moneyline bet, we have the Canucks as the likely winner. However, with the current odds at -175, I’d suggest considering a puck line bet, as our predictions have the Canucks winning by more than one goal.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Canucks to win and cover. Look for the Canucks to win this one by multiple goals over the Blues.

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.
