Vancouver at Detroit

Vancouver has the best record in the Western Conference although the Canucks look to bounce back from a 4-0 loss at Boston on Thursday. The Canucks still have won 10 of their past 13 games and 16 of 27 road games this season. Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko is 27-9-1 with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage with five shutouts. Alex Lyon is confirmed for Detroit and he'll be up against a Vancouver team that scores 3.71 goals per game and the Red Wings allow 3.22. The Canucks have won six of their past eight road games and 37 of 51 overall as favorites. The Red Wings will be a little rusty after not playing since Jan. 31 before the All-Star break. This is the first meeting of the season. Take the Canucks.
