Canucks vs Red Wings Prediction

The Vancouver Canucks have the rest advantage at home, which should give them a considerable edge. The problem is the Canucks haven’t taken care of home ice this season, where they’re 9-10-6 overall. The Detroit Red Wings may have played last night, but they’re a confident group that’s won five straight games and hasn’t allowed more than two goals in every one of those games. The Red Wings have earned points in six straight games. We’re getting nearly 1.5 times our money with the hotter team. Give me the Red Wings and the more favorable price.
