Rangers vs Canucks Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Rangers to pick up on a win over the Canucks and the road. With the moneyline sitting at -119, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Rangers straight-up.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Canucks to cover. Even if the Rangers win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Canucks should cover the puck line.

For those looking at the over/under line set at 6 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
