My Canucks pick: Canucks moneyline (-178 at Pinnacle)
My Canucks analysis
The Vancouver Canucks are simply the superior team across the board in this matchup. Over the past two months, Vancouver has done a tremendous job suppressing high-danger scoring chances, ranking 12th in expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60).
Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks are 31st in that same category during that stretch. As a result, the Canucks also sit higher than Anaheim in expected goals for percentage (xGF%).
This season, the Canucks unsurprisingly have a higher win percentage at home than the Ducks do on the road. Vancouver is also the stronger club on special teams and in the faceoff circle. That leaves goaltending as Anaheim’s only real hope of keeping this game close.
That said, Thatcher Demko is expected to start in net for the Canucks. Demko is 3-0 in his past three starts against the Ducks, sporting a stellar .943 SV% and 1.67 GAA.
Canucks vs Ducks odds analysis
Vancouver opened as a -178 favorite and remains at that number at the time of writing. The line is likely to inflate based on the aforementioned metrics.
The total opened at six and also remains unchanged. The juice favors the under, and some markets have already dropped the line to 5.5.
