Trends

Vancouver is 1-4 in their last 5 Tuesday games and 20-47 in their last 67 games played on no rest. The over is 34-15-2 in Vancouver’s last 51 Tuesday games. Anaheim is 2-6 in their last 8 Tuesday games and 0-6 in their last 6 games played on one day of rest. The under is 5-2 in Anaheim’s last 7 home games. The under is 19-8-3 in these two teams last 30 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Vancouver comes into this game after winning two of their last three games, but they will be on the second game of a back to back in this matchup. Anaheim is one of the worst teams in the league and has lost 11 games in a row. Anaheim has allowed at least five goals in four of their last five games, but they have scored four goals in three of their last four. I like the over here.
