Vancouver at Vegas

Vancouver is a huge dog but is 2-3 the last five games, winning as a big dog each time. They won 6-0 at Dallas as a +210 dog, won 6-1 over Boston as a +170 puppy, and should have beaten Colorado the last game in a wild 5-4 loss. The offense is playing well, outscoring the opposition 20-14 these last five contests. Vancouver is well rested with two full days off and faces a Vegas squad working on one day of rest. Vegas forward James Neal and defenseman Shea Theodore are still out and did not practice Thursday. Two games ago Vegas was a -155 favorite and lost at home to Anaheim, 2-0, and the rested dog is capable of pulling another surprise tonight. Play Vancouver.
