Vancouver is 1-9 in their last 10 games following a win and 4-1 in their last 5 games played on 1 day’s rest while the over is 25-8-5 in their last 38 Wednesday games.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. I just don’t trust either of these sides to keep the puck out of the net right now, and the last two meetings between these teams each produced 11 goals and I think we could have another thriller brewing here. Give me the over.
