Top NHL picks December 7: Bet on Vancouver to keep road win streak alive

Tonight's NHL slate offers seven games worth of wagers. Pacific Division matchup in the Bay Area is the highlight.

The Vancouver Canucks are on a road winning streak. The Sabres and Blue Jackets are playing a barn-burner on December 7. Arizona Coyotes have fared better against the spread than in the standings.

Vancouver Canucks are on the road tonight. San Jose Sharks have lost eight of their last 10 games. Vancouver has won seven of 10, including victories over the Golden Knights and the reigning-champion Colorado Avalanche. Canucks have won four consecutive games against the Sharks. Vancouver is a better team on road. The Canucks lost their first five road games, but since mid-November they have a positive goal differential.

Buffalo Sabres and Columbus Blue Jackets are playing a game with the highest over/under of the night. Buffalo has hit or cleared the over in eight of their past 10 games. The Blue Jacket's four previous back-to-back games have seen 27 goals scored.

Arizona is a bottom-feeder in the standings, but they have covered as puck line underdogs in six of their past seven games. Vancouver is on a 14-game road trip. Edmonton has only one multi-goal victory in their last 10 games and is an ATS underdog.
