Blues vs Canucks Prediction
Both teams are tied 1-1 in their two meetings this season with each one winning on the road. The Canucks won 4-3 in a shootout in Saint Louis and the Blues won 5-2 in Vancouver.
In this Blues vs Canucks Prediction, the Blues are coming as -130 road favorites. The Canucks are the worst team in hockey this season and are 3-7 in their last 10 games. The Blues have back-to-back losses, both on the road, but they had won their five road games before that, including wins against the Canes, Ducks and Wild. I like the Blues in a bounce-back spot today and I expect them to get the job done on the road in a very reasonable price.
