On the season, Vancouver ranks 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.5), 29th in shots per game, and 25th in shooting percentage. Defensively, the Canucks rank 12th in shots allowed and 11th in opponents’ shooting percentage.
Vancouver is without their top defenseman Quinn Hughes, who is out with a lower-body injury.
Thatcher Demko leads the team in net, going 4-3 with a 2.18 goals-against average (GAA) in 11 games. He's the projected goaltender in this game. Kevin Lankinen has started the other four games and is 1-3 with a 3.74 GAA.
Blues on a Five-Game Losing Streak
The Blues are on a five-game skid after falling to the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 on Tuesday. Jordan Binnington took the loss, allowing four goals, and fell to 2-4-1 with a 3.27 GAA. He's the projected goaltender in this matchup. The defeat marked the fourth straight game in which St. Louis has allowed at least five goals. St. Louis will be looking to tighten up tonight and improve on its 1-4-1 home record this season.
The Blue have been playing without top center Robert Thomas (upper body) and winger Jake Neighbours (lower body).
St. Louis ranks 21st in the NHL in scoring (2.9 goals per game), 28th in shots per game, and 14th in shooting percentage. Defensively, the Blues rank 31st in goals allowed per game (4.4) and last in opponents’ shooting percentage.
Canucks vs. Blues Picks
Moneyline Pick:
- St. Louis Blues -145 (3 units)
The market seems to be trying to force bettors to take Vancouver here. Backing the struggling Blues as a favorite isn’t easy, and the price for Vancouver on the puck line sits in the -200 range, making it unbackable.
Despite the losing streak, the Blues are scoring; they’re just struggling to stop anyone. A good sign for St Louis is that Vancouver has scored one goal or fewer in three of its last five games, which could be the recipe the Blues need to get back on track. St. Louis is 15-4 in its last 19 games against teams with a losing record and has had Vancouver’s number recently as they have won the last four head-to-head meetings played in St. Louis. I’ll back the Blues as the home favorite.
Total Pick:
- Over 6 (4 units)
Until the Blues show otherwise, I’ll continue playing their overs. St. Louis has now hit the over in eight straight games and has allowed an NHL-worst 17.2 opponents’ shooting percentage.
The last five meetings between these teams have also gone over, and with the Blues on a four-game streak of allowing at least five goals, I have to take the over here.
