This is a 6* play on the Vancouver Canucks.

As well as the Canucks played at the start of the season, they still find themselves tied with L.A. for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They snapped a five game losing skid with a home win over the Flames Saturday, and I like their chances of earning another win at home against Phoenix tonight.

The Coyotes don't have a lot to be positive about, with just one win in their last seven games. Starting goaltender Mike Smith is just 1-8-2 with a 3.27 GAA in his last 12 games.

Vancouver is still in a dog fight to stay in the playoff race, while Phoenix is already out of it. We should see the home team cruise to an easy victory at Rogers Center tonight.

Take VAN.
