Vancouver is riding a three-game win streak and all were on the road, including 5-2 over the New York Islanders on Tuesday. Filip Hronek and Quinn Hughes got things rolling with first-period goals to back Casey DeSmith, who made 17 saves for the Canucks. Thatcher Demko is likely back in net for this game and he is 20-8-1 with a 2.54 goals-against average and .916 save percentage with three shutouts this season and he has won eight of his past 10 starts. Pittsburgh has split its past four games and comes off a 4-1 win over Philadelphia and Alex Nedeljkovic is confirmed for the Penguins. He got the win with 36 saves against the Flyers after getting bombarded with five goals by Boston although the Penguins eventually won 6-5. Pittsburgh has gone UNDER four of six and it is 22-14-3 UNDER on the season. Take the Canucks as a Max Play, and bet this one to stay UNDER.
