JETS/CANUCKS: THE LOW DOWN?
(NHL) Winnipeg vs. Vancouver,
Total: 5.50 | -118.00 Over
Result: Loss
With the Jets off a tough loss in a shootout last night, one would think that this would be an opportunity for the beleaguered Canucks to step up and show something. They face Comrie in the net. Comrie is the third string netminder for the Jets, but he has been playing surprisingly well in his few appearances. The Jets will be tired, but have superior scoring and a very solid defense this year. The Canucks can’t score, and can’t defend, ranked 27th in both categories. Their PK is shockingly bad and their PP not much better. Can the Canucks take advantage of the Jets on a back to back? I am not convinced. There are a couple of possible scenarios. Either the Canucks show some bounce and pot a few for a change, or completely fall to pieces. Both involve goals scored. Take the total to go over.
