Stars vs Canucks prediction

You can make a case for the Stars or Canucks in this spot, as they’re two contenders and you usually don’t get prices this soft with either side. With that said, the Canucks are at home, so that’s the spot I lean. While the Stars are 23-9-5 on the road this season, the Canucks are 24-8-4 at home. The Canucks have also won 7 of the last 8 games against the Stars. This price being what it is feels like a steal. Give me the Canucks.
