The pick: Canucks ML (+185) · 1 unit ($100)
Listen up. Both these teams are absolute disasters right now. Winnipeg is 1-7-2 in their last ten. Vancouver is 1-8-1 in their last ten. Nobody's good here. So we go to the edge.
Merilainen is stopping pucks. 0.897 save percentage across 8 games. Skinner is bleeding goals at 0.881 over 11 starts. That goalie gap is real and it's moving this number toward Vancouver.
Jets are only scoring 2.44 goals per game at home. Vancouver is putting up 3.0 per game on the road. You do that math.
Canucks also play heavy. 186 team penalty minutes. Paul Cotter is throwing his weight around with 27 PIM in 16 games. That's the kind of nasty that wins you ugly games on the road.
Risk: Tom Willander is day-to-day on the blue line. That's real. Factor it in.
But at plus money against a Jets squad on a 1-4 skid? Give me Vancouver.
Anyway I drove to the rink this morning. Sat in the parking lot for twenty minutes before I remembered I sold my car in August.
Record since Oct 25: 6-5 · Bankroll $10,207
