Vancouver had their winning streak snapped on Monday but now return home where they have been phenomenal. Thatcher Demko has been one of the best goalies in the NHL and should be able to limit the goals for Arizona, who has struggled offensively.
The Canucks offense will also probably be too much for the Coyotes who give up a ton of high-danger chances.
