This is a 10* NON-CONF DOG OF YEAR on the Canucks.

Here's a great SPOT WAGER on the Canucks.

These franchises are familiar with each other, having faced off in the Stanley Cup Final before.

Either way, after two straight victories over the Sharks and on the road in Seattle, I think New York has a small mental letdown here as it gets caught looking ahead to its upcoming games in Calgary and Edmonton.

Vancouver has been trading wins/losses over its last five games, and off a 5-3 home loss to Nashville as a +103 dog, I think this pattern continues (also note that the Nucks are 4-1 in their last five off a home loss as an underdog.)

With three whole nights off after this before a six-game Eastern road trip, this becomes an important game for Vancouver, one that it would have had circled on the calendar for a while now.

All things considered, I believe this to be the very definition of "great line value."

The play is VANCOUVER.

Good luck, NP
