St. Louis Blues vs Vancouver Canucks prediction
The St. Louis Blues are coming off a nice underdog road win over the Flames, but they've had issues on the road this season overall, and this is a tough spot playing on the end of a back to back. The Vancouver Canucks have put together an enjoyable week and continue to flex their muscle as one of the best teams in hockey. The Vancouver Canucks are 17-4-1 at home this season, and they're making bettors money hand over fist. With the rest advantage and home ice, it's hard to step in front of the Canucks with confidence. I'll lay the reasonable price with the Canucks.
