Pick - Moneyline
Vancouver (+103)
The Canucks have had the edge in the head-to-head department of late, winning three of the previous four, including a 5-2 win in Vancouver in December this season. The Blue Jackets, however, have won four straight against Vancouver on its home ice. While that may be cause for concern, I like Demko against a Columbus team that has yet to prove it can sustain its offensive prowess. Vancouver has won four of the last six against the Blue Jackets, and in those games, they have scored at least four goals. Look for the same formula here.

o6 (-107)
Vegas' offense has been on a roll since getting blanked on March 20, averaging five goals scored across their last four contests. The Golden Knights' power play has been at the heart of this run, cashing in five times in 10 opportunities. The Blackhawks are in the midst of a miserable 1-8 stretch heading into Friday night, allowing an average of 4.22 goals per game. However, Chicago's power play has shown signs of life, scoring five times in its last 11 chances.
