Blues vs Canucks Prediction

You can make a case for the Vancouver Canucks because they’ve been better on the road than the Blues have been at home this season. However, neither the Canucks nor the Blues are lighting the world on fire lately and in a pick ’em spot I have to give the edge to the home team. I’d need some plus money to pull the trigger with the Canucks. Also, the Blues have won eight of the last 10 games against the Canucks, which includes an underdog win a little over a month ago. The Canucks are also in a funk offensively, scoring two or fewer goals in seven of their last nine games. Give me the Blues and the cheap price on Monday night.
