Vancouver Canucks +125 over CALGARY FLAMES

In what will undoubtedly be tagged as a surefire playoff preview, the Canucks will visit the Flames in a barn burner tonight. Both teams are scorching right now, with Vancouver dominating Montreal 4-2 to go 5-1 SU in their last 6 games. The Canucks look virtually impossible to stop, and the dominating display for Mats Sundin has only fueled speculation that the Red Wings and Sharks are becoming increasingly worried about Vancouver coming on strong in the final months of the NHL wagering season.

Calgary just went 2-1 SU in a three-game road trip proving that their mettle is made of sterner stuff than the oddsmakers thought. At home, the Flames have burned down their visitors with an 11-3 SU record in their last 13 games. So why go against them when the Canucks visit?

Simply because the Canucks have everything you want out of a top-tier team. A deserving All-Star bound for the Hall of Fame, an elite goal tender that is virtually impenetrable and two scoring lines that have dominated the competition. Why else would the OVER be pushed in 7-of-8 when Vancouver hits the ice? Bet the Canucks to prove just how real of a threat they are in the Northwest Division by throttling the Flames at home. Big game, big results. Big winnings.
