Blue Jackets vs Canucks Prediction
Both teams were tied 1-1 last season but the Canucks have won their last 4 home meetings against the Blue Jackets. Over is 8-1-1 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Blue Jackets vs Canucks Prediction, the Canucks are coming as -120 home favorites. Both teams have the same number of wins this season and neither has been in good form lately, as the Canucks are 3-6 in their last 9 games and the Blue Jackets have back-to-back losses. The total is set at 6.5 goals but both teams struggle offensively and average just 5.7 goals per game, so I like the game to go under this number. Take the under 6.5 in this one.
