Vancouver at Anaheim

Vancouver has beaten the Ducks five straight times, including 3-1 on Nov. 28 in the only one this season. The Canucks could use an opponent they can handle as they are going through a rough stretch losing six of seven. However, the Canucks still are tied for the best record in the Western Conference and are atop the Pacific Division while Anaheim is languishing in seventh place. Vancouver is 9-2 playing on two days rest and it has won six of its past seven Sunday games. The Ducks have won just 10 of 52 as home underdogs. Thatcher Demko is expected in net for Vancouver and he is 31-13-2 with a 2.55 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage with five shutouts this season. Anaheim has won just nine of 30 home games this season. Take the Canucks as a Max Play.
