Vancouver Canucks: Nearly unbeatable right now

Even though they are coming off a loss, the Canucks have been playing strong hockey of late. In their past 10 games played, the Canucks have a record of 7-1-2. Despite their 53 points, the Canucks are 10 points behind the Pacific Division leaders and sit in fourth place. 
Vancouver is 11-5-4 at home this season, so tonight is a perfect fit for them. Vancouver knows how to rebound from losses, so Tampa Bay should be prepared for an onslaught. 

Tampa Bay Lightning: Sitting in second place

With 50 points on the season, the Lightning sit in second place in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference, just four points behind the Boston Bruins. Tampa Bay was on a tear prior to the holidays, but have cooled off of late. In their past 10 games played, the Lightning are 6-2-2 and have lost two straight games in that span. A win tonight for the Lightning would be their fourth straight on the road. If they do so, it will be the first time in six years. 

We find the betting odds for tonight’s NHL contest between the Vancouver Canucks and the Tampa Bay Lightning at TopBet.eu. Since they are the home team, and incredibly hot right now, we have to back the Canucks over the Lightning.
