<p>The most anticipated hockey game in Vancouver since June 15th, 2011, is nearly upon us, as the Vancouver Canucks, in the most unlikely of fashions, <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/stanchies-brock-boeser-hat-trick-helps-propel-canucks-stunning-last-second-behind-victory-over-predators">stole both games in Nashville</a> and came home one game away from the second round of the playoffs.</p>
<p>Vancouver has not won a playoff round on home ice since Kevin Bieksa&#8217;s infamous goal off the stanchion to send the Canucks to the finals in 2011.</p>
<p>Today’s <a href="https://canucksarmy.com/news/scenes-morning-skate-canucks-starter-mystery-warm-up-game-5-predators">expected goaltender matchups</a> for our highlighted game:</p>
<div class="mb-5">The Vancouver Canucks’ Arturs Silovs (3-0-1) vs. The Nashville Predators’ Juuse Saros (35-24-5).</div>
<h2><a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/grp/ice-hockey/north-america/nhl">JT Miller to register over 2.5 shots at -125. My $12.50 bet would return $22.50.</a></h2>
<p>With Elias Pettersson&#8217;s recent struggles, JT Miller has taken the bull by the horns and has excelled, Miller was all over the ice for the Canucks in Nashville channeling his inner Ryan Kesler &#8220;beast mode&#8221; as he scored or assisted on five of Vancouver&#8217;s six goals on the road trip. In game three Miller had half of the Canucks total shots, registering six out of Vancouver&#8217;s 12.</p>
<p>I like Miller to show killer instinct tonight and to continue the trend of being all over the ice for the Canucks, take this play at a full unit.</p>
<h1>Quinn Hughes to register an assist at -125. My $10 bet would return $18.</h1>
<p>One of the most surprising things from reading game fours box score is noticing the Canucks captain Hughes was held off the scoresheet. Hughes made instrumental plays on both Vancouver&#8217;s tying goal and overtime winner. Captain Canuck has tallied four assists in four games this series and I like this trend to continue at home, would even sprinkle on Hughes&#8217; to get a power-play point tonight but we will not be tracking that.</p>
<p>Take Hughes to get an assist at .8 units.</p>
<h2>Vancouver to score a power-play goal at -135. My $12.50 bet would return $21.75.</h2>
<p>Vancouver&#8217;s power-play showed major signs of life in game three going 2-3 after swapping Connor Garland for Elias Lindholm on the top unit. Although the Canucks didn&#8217;t score with a power-play in game four, they scored two goals 6 on 5. Returning home for game five, I like the team to feed off the crowd and to make Nashville pay with the man advantage.</p>
<p>As mentioned above, I really like Hughes to get a power-play point tonight and love the value on Elias Lindholm to get one, too, so much so that we&#8217;ll throw in a bonus bet.</p>
<p>Elias Lindholm to score a power-play point at +450. My $3.12 bet would return $17.60.</p>
<p>All in all on this play were risking one unit on the Canucks to score on the PP and .25 units on Lindholm to score a power-play point.</p>
<h1>Last Game Bets</h1>
<p class="mb-5 text-2xl font-bold"><b>Sam Reinhart over 2.5 shots at -175. My $12.50 bet would return $19.64</b> &#8211; HIT</p>
<p class="mb-5 text-2xl font-bold">Nikita Kucherov to score anytime at +140. My $10 bet would return $24  -MISSED</p>
<p class="mb-5 text-2xl font-bold">Andrei Vasilevsky to make over 28.5 saves at -130. My $12.50 bet would return $22.11 &#8211; hit</p>
<div>Hit the two straights and missed on Kucherov, not the worst start. We are up $6.75 after our first night of the playoffs.</div>
