Sport: NHLPick Selection: UNDER
I'm playing on the Kings and Canucks to finish UNDER the total. These teams have played a trio of relatively high-scoring games against each other this season. I'm expecting a significantly lower-scoring game this evening though. For starters, the Canucks haven't allowed more than two goals in any of their last three games. Looking back further and we find that they've allowed three goals or less in nine of their last 10 games, allowing four in the 'other' game. Seven of their last nine games have finished with five combined goals or less. Meanwhile, the Kings haven't scored more than two goals in any of their last five games, seeing three of their last four stay below the number.
The Canucks won their last game by a score of 4-2. That's worth noting as we find the UNDER at 32-16-8 the past three seasons when they were coming off a win by two goals or more, including a 7-3-5 mark this season. Additionally, they've seen the UNDER go a profitable 22-9 (71%) the past three seasons when playing a road game with an over/under line of 5.5. Look for tonight's final score to be lower-scoring than expected once again.
