Rick Tocchet has turned Vancouver around. The Canucks are 10-2 in their last 12 games, including winning their past four road games.

I'm going to ride Vancouver here against St. Louis, which has lost seven of its last nine home games and been on the road the past five days.

Vancouver's Elias Pettersson is one of the hottest scorers in the league with 17 points during his last dozen games.

A goalie edge, too, to the Canucks with Thatcher Demko against Jordan Binngton.

The Blues haven't faced good competition lately aside from losing to the Kings this past Sunday. Prior to that game, the Blues had played the Ducks and Red Wings twice. This marks St. Louis' third game in four days. The Blues are 0-5 in that situation the past five times.

Vancouver has enjoyed good recent success in St. Louis winning in five of its last six visits.
