NHL Predictions

Vancouver Canucks -115

The Blackhawks come into tonight’s game 11-4-3, while Canucks are 9-8-1. These two met back on November 6th in Chicago, with the Canucks winning 6-2 as underdogs. 5 of those 6 goals scored by the Canucks came on the powerplay, which highlights the special team problems the Blackhawks are having this season. Chicago sits 26th in the league in penalty killing at 76.4%, and 23rd in the league with their powerplay converting at 13.2%. On the other hand Vancouver’s powerplay (26.7%) ranks first in the NHL, and their penalty killing is 11th at 86.5%. Tonight the Canucks will have Cory Schneider in net, but he has been solid this season. Although he is just 2-3, he does have a low 2.38 GAA and .918 SV%. Corey Crawford is in net for the Blackhawks. Crawford has let in 3 or more goals in 6 of his last 7 starts, pushing his season GAA up to 2.72. He is 8-4-2 with a .905 SV% on the season. These two teams went 7 games in last years postseason, but the Canucks have taken 7 of their last 10 meetings and 4 of 5 in their last 5 in Vancouver. Take note Vancouver is 89-40 in their last 129 home games, and 65-30 in their last 95 games as a favorite. Also note that the Blackhawks are just 2-6 in their last 8 games as an underdog. Don’t let the better record of the Blackhawks fool you here, as Vancouver has been just as good or better overall. Home ice is big tonight, as the Canucks don’t lose at home often, and they will come out fired up for this rivalry game in front of their home crowd. The Canucks make it 5 of their last 6 vs the Blackhawks at home tonight with a win. Take Vancouver to win.

Sports Wagers

BUFFALO -½ +100 over New Jersey (REG) Pinnacle
Playing the tail end of back-to-back games is usually not much of a concern in most situations but this one is not favorable for the Devils. They’re coming off three intense games over Washington twice and the Bruins last night in which they really played their hearts out, fought back twice from being down a goal in the third and eventually lost it with three minutes to go. It was a tough and hard fought loss that is likely to have a lingering effect here. Also, Marty Brodeur is between the pipes and New Jersey is a better team when he’s not in net. The Sabres are coming off a big third period ion Montreal on Monday night. They rallied from two down and won it in a shootout and have now won five of six. The scary thing is that, despite winning, Buffalo isn’t even that sharp. Tyler Myers, a guy that looked like a “sure thing” in his first year was benched last game. The Sabres have blown some leads and they’re barely over .500 at home. They’re in a favorable spot tonight, they have a huge edge in net, they’re the superior club and that’s more than enough reason to have confidence in them to put this intruder away. Play: Buffalo -½ +100 (Risking 2 units).
