1* Free Play Canucks PUCK-LINE.

We're expecting a much more competitive affair than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe, so in a game which we believe will be decided late or in the extra periods, we'll highly recommend that you consider laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance. The Ducks looked flat in their 2-0 loss at San Jose on Saturday, getting outshot 44-27, including 17-3 in the final frame. Vancouver comes to town off a 5-1 win over the Flames in its opener and a 3-2 loss at home to Calgary on Saturday (an OT setback): "It's frustrating to have a lead in our building in the third period and give it up," said Canucks' goaltender Ryan Miller, who made 35 saves. "But we're going to have to go with the good and the bad and there was some good stuff tonight." Note that Miller owns a 2.88 GAA in five career games at Anaheim. While we wouldn't be completely shocked by an outright upset, we will in the end recommend a second look at VANCOUVER on the PUCK-LINE in this one.
