For Dallas, Tyler Seguin, Luke Glendening and Scott Wedgewood are all out until late March while Vancouver has Filip Hronek listed as out with an upper body injury.
Matchup History

Trends
Dallas is 39-19 in their last 58 games against a team with a losing record and 6-1 in their last 7 games overall while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Vancouver is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall and 4-0 in their last 4 home games while the over is 17-7-5 in their last 29 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. I have a hard time trusting Dallas defensively on the back-to-back, but they can score goals and score them in bunches against a mediocre at best Canucks defense. I also think the Canucks can pop a couple themselves here and get us over the number when all is said and done.
