The Canucks have won 4 of their ñast 5 games and are 15-18 on the road this season. With a 27-23-6 record overall they rank 6th in the Pacific.

In their last 10 games the Canucks are 7-3, averaging 4.3 goals, 6.3 assists, 3.6 penalties and 7.8 penalty minutes while allowing 3.5 goals per game with a .903 save percentage.
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
After winning 3 games in a row the Maple Leafs fell against the Sabres 5-1. Toronto is 19-7 at home so far this season and have a 35-15-4 record overall and ranks third in the Atlantic.

In their last 10 games Toronto is 5-5, averaging 3.9 goals, 7.2 assists, four penalties and eight penalty minutes while giving up 3.7 goals per game with an .881 save percentage.
BETTING TRENDS
Vancouver are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Vancouver's last 7 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Vancouver's last 5 games on the road.
Toronto are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games at home.
The total has gone OVER in 11 of Toronto's last 16 games.
Prediction
Toronto are 10-0 in their last 10 games when playing at home against Vancouver but there's no value on the Money Line and it's hard to take them to cover the puck line with the Canucks playing great offensively. The play here is the Over. The Over has cashed in 7 of the last 7 games for the Canucks and in 11 of the last 16 for the Maple Leafs. Both offenses has been really good lately and both teams are allowing more than 3.5 gpg. Give me the Over.
PICK: Over 6.5 (+100)
