Neither Super Bowl odds team will play at home for the big game, and Vancouver, go good northbet, will get a dose of that as Wednesday is their last game at GM Place until March 13th, due to the Winter Olympics. The Canucks will host St. Louis, who got their Western road trip off to a victorious start. Blues vs Canucks odds – Wednesday, 10:00 PM ET The Blues shut out struggling Calgary 2-0 on Monday, snapping a two-game skid and this will be their fifth road game in six outings. Chris Mason has held the opposition to three goals or less in eight of his last 10 starts, giving the Blues a chance, but St. Louis still has some offensive problems to work out. The Canucks have won five in a row, with Roberto Luongo leading the way. Luongo has kept the opposition to two goals or less in four of those five games, and he’s really stepped up his game since a 5-2 loss at Minnesota on January 13th. Vancouver has to be the sportsbook favorites on Wednesday as they have an NHL-high 22 wins at home. The Blues beat the Canucks 3-1 at GM Place on December 20th, and they’re a surprising good team away from home with a 14-7-4 mark. But you can expect the Canucks to play with urgency as they know they won’t see their home ice for a while, and they’ll be trying to stockpile all the points they can get. Sports handicapping pick: Vancouver |
