Vancouver is solid on defense, fifth in the NHL in penalty killing, and off a win allowing one goal. Goalie Ryan Miller has stopped 64 of 67 shots in his last two starts. They face a strong Anaheim defense off a 2-1 loss. Anaheim is 13-1-1 UNDER the total at home, as well as 13-5 UNDER the total after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Anaheim entered the Christmas break with an impressive win of its own, edging the Sharks 3-2 on Monday. They returned from the layoff with a 2-1 shootout loss at Arizona on Saturday. "It's tough when you don't play for that long," goalie Frederik Andersen said. "I didn't feel very good in the first period." Look for more defense than oddsmakers expect. Play Vancouver/Anaheim UNDER the total.
