The set-up: Vancouver has been sharp on both ends of the ice. The Kings have long been viewed as being one of the top defensive clubs in the league, but that definitely is not the case this year as LA comes to the Pacific Northwest as the worst on that end of the ice in the entire NHL. Vancouver has won three of its last four and two were blowout victories.

The pick: LA won't be rolling over after losing three in a row and getting outscored 15-4 in the process, most recently falling 5-1 to the Hawks. Back on October 9th the Canucks hammered the Kings 8-2 and they're averaging over five goals over their last five games. With the desperate home side pushing the pace as well, look for this total to fly over sooner, rather than later.
