During that stretch, the Canucks have scored three-plus goals in every contest while averaging 3.8 goals per game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Devils are still trying to find their way under new head coach Sheldon Keefe and have been a mess defensively so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Jersey&#8217;s 6-4-2 record isn&#8217;t terrible but it has dropped four of the last five games while allowing an average of 5.0 goals per game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jacob Markstrom hasn&#8217;t been anything special in goal, either, with a 3.01 GAA (26th in NHL) and .895 SV% (27th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He ranks 66th out of 70 goaltenders in Money Puck&#8217;s goals saved above expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kevin Lankinen seems the likely candidate to start for Vancouver tonight and he&#8217;s been great, posting a 2.29 GAA and .920 SV%. The Finn is 20th in goals saved above expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both teams can score, with the Hughes brothers leading the charge for each side. But Vancouver has been much better defensively and that should be the difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Vancouver has at least gone to overtime in all four of its home games this season (2-0-2). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDU0JnA9MjMxODU%3D\">Golden Knights moneyline (-127)<\/a>:<\/strong> Yesterday, I backed the Kings to cover a <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNTcxMDU0JnA9MjMxODU%3D\">-1.5 puck line<\/a> against the lowly San Jose Sharks and they lost 4-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was an ugly performance but just know this fade on L.A. isn&#8217;t purely out of spite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:98792\">Embed: #98792<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vegas hammered Los Angeles, 6-1, a week ago and has now won four of its last five against its Pacific Division rivals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Golden Knights are 7-2-1 through 10 contests and averaging the most goals per game (4.70).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even on the road, taking Vegas against a Los Angeles team on a back-to-back seems like a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>NHL picks made at 1:27 p.m. ET 10\/30\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"thestar wp-block-paragraph\">Looking to get started? <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNzQxMyZsPTEzNTI3NDExJnA9MjMyNDM%3D\">Sign up now<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two West Coast NHL games have my attention tonight.
