ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Vancouver Canucks Puck Line (+1.5 goals) over Edmonton Oilers, Saturday at 3:35 PM ET - The Canucks are available at about -135 on the puck line in this match-up. Having that extra 1.5 goals on your side could prove very valuable in this game as it should be a rather close match-up. The Oilers are going to the post-season and their spot is locked up as well as their position and so their main focus here is just staying healthy as they tune up for their first-round playoff series against the Jets. As for the Canucks, they still have 3 games left against the Flames after this one. Vancouver had the long pause not too long ago as the covid-19 pandemic was particularly rough in the BC province of Canada. That said, the Canucks are still looking to make the most of these final few games and to build some early momentum for next season which will be here before you know it! The NHL is looking for an October start and getting back to a traditional October start time table for their seasons going forward. If you grabbed the road team at +1.5 goals in each of the last 7 meetings between these teams you went a perfect 7-0! 5 of the 7 wins were outright wins and 2 of the games were losses by just a single goal. With Oilers likely to be the much less focused team here, we feel there is excellent line value with the +1.5 goals and the Canucks. Vancouver is off back to back ugly losses and they want to absolutely hit the "reset button" and work to finish the season the right way these next 4 games. Edmonton has won 3 of its last 4 games but all 3 wins were by just a single goal. Grabbing the 1.5 goals (and laying a reasonable price in doing so) with road underdog Vancouver is the big value play here.
