Canucks vs Panthers Pick
Money Line Pick For Canucks vs Panthers
- Panthers -1.5 (-110) (4 units)
The Panthers have played great hockey lately and I see them taking over this game from the first period. The Panthers should pile on the goals against the Canucks, who allow 3.53 goals per game, with Sam Reinhart, Brad Marchand, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Panthers should limit the Canucks offense with Gustav Forsling, Aaron Ekblad, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky to make plenty of big saves. The Panthers should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice.
Over/Under Pick For Canucks vs Panthers
- Under 6.5 (5 Units)
Both offenses have struggled this season and this game looks to be a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Canucks should limit the Panthers' offense, which averages only 2.72 goals per game, with Filip Hronek, Marcus Pettersson, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jiri Patera to make plenty of big saves. The Panthers, who allow only 2.94 goals per game, should eliminate and potentially shut out the Canucks, who average only 2.84 goals per game, with Gustav Forsling, Aaron Ekblad, Seth Jones, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in the neutral zone and defensive zone while goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 6.5 goals.
