Vancouver is 43-35 on the puckline this season compared to 36-43 for St. Louis. The Canucks come off a 4-3 win on Wednesday to take a 3-2 series lead. Tyler Motte scored twice for Vancouver, which came back from a two-goal deficit, and Jacob Markstrom had 36 saves. The Blues still haven't decided who will be in net tonight after Jake Allen stopped 26 of 30 shots in Game 5. However, Vancouver certainly has regained the momentum against last year's champions, who relied on Jordan Binnington to get them through the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup in 2019. Markstrom is 6-3 in the postseason with a 2.48 goals-against average. The Blues have lost six of their last eight games, and Vancouver has won five of its last six with one day of rest. Take the Canucks on the puckline.
