Shane’s Free Pick
The Canucks are going to find success in this game. Demko is giving up only 1.79 goals per game and he’s going to lockdown in this game. The Stars are going to really struggle to even get many shots on goal. The Canucks offense is going to continue their offensive success, and the Canucks are going to get the job done here. Back the Canucks on the money line.
