The set-up: I think the home side has a legitimate shot at winning this one outright. That said, I'll recommend laying the price for the extra 1.5 goals of insurance in the end. Could you fault the Jets for looking past their lowly opponent today after winning six of their last seven? The Canucks though have quietly been dominating themselves of late by going 3-1 on their current home stand. In a contest which I envision being decided late or even in extra time, the hot/hungry home side is the correct call here in my opinion.

The pick: The Canucks have actually going 6-1-1 in their last eight behind an improved defense which has allowed two goals only twice in its past seven games. Play on the Canucks puck line.

8*
