Predators vs Canucks Prediction

The Canucks have played their best hockey on the road so far, as it’s where 3 of their 4 wins this season have come. The Predators have been a mess on both sides of the ice, and I’m not laying juice when they’re getting crushed on the defensive side. The Predators have allowed 3 or more goals in 7 of their last 10 games. The Predators are allowing an average of 4.75 goals during their four-game losing streak. I can’t get behind that. I’ll side with the Canucks and the more favorable price.
