VAN +1.5 -144 - think the value is strong enough with the Canucks to warrant laying a little price for the added insurance of the goal and a half on the puck line as this is an ideal set up with Vancouver off a 4-1 loss on road yesterday and Capitals off a 2-0 shutout win on the road yesterday as Canucks have lost by bigger margins recently but faced some very tough opponents while Washington had lost 4 straight games before yesterday's win so the Capitals likely will be in a battle just to win this game let alone win it by much of a margin, 4.5* VANCOUVER +1.5 Puck Line
