The Zig-Zag Theory is in effect in this series, which is to bet on the team that lost the previous game. Vancouver won Game 1 4-2 and then lost 4-1 in Game 2. Juuse Saros had 17 saves and Casey DeSmith stopped 12 of 15 shots for the Canucks as neither team showed much on the offensive side. DeSmith will be in net again in Game 3 with a 2.88 goals-against average this season. The main factor on Tuesday was Nashville's skaters had 30 blocks. Vancouver has won four in a row after losing by at least three goals and it is 4-0 after a home loss of three or more goals. Nashville still is 1-8 its past nine first round games and 1-7 its past eight playoff games as a favorite of -110 to -150. Take the Canucks as a Max Play.
