The Canucks haven't been playing particularly well post All-Star break, but they are still in much better form than Chicago. The Blackhawks have dropped six straight, and have been absolutely dreadful on the offensive end. I like Vancouver to win big in this one.
The Canucks are second in the NHL with 195 goals but have scored more than three only twice in their last 11 games. The Blackhawks have allowed 183 goals, the fourth-most in the league, but have held 11 of their last 13 opponents to three or fewer. Vancouver has two players in the top 10 in goals who have combined for one in four games since the All-Star break. I expect a big night from the Canucks, who may exceed this number on their own.
