Utah Hockey Club vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction
The Utah Hockey Club have won 4 of their last 5 games and should be rolling with confidence for a change. The problem is the Canucks are simply the more trustworthy team, and they’re on the road where they’re 10-2-1 on the season. Meanwhile, the Utah Hockey Club have seen 10 of their 15 wins come on the road, so they’re not lighting it up at home. Pick ’em prices pretty much, I have to lean toward the Canucks and their road success.
