The Canucks overall has been the better team and they are going to find success here. The Coyotes offense has been inconsistent this season and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. The Canucks are averaging 3.82 goals per game and they are going to score four or five goals here. This is going to be a comfortable victory. Back the Canucks on the puck line here. I am also throwing a few dollars on the Canucks -2.5 to get some added value with this play.
