Rich Tocchet won his first game as coach of the Vancouver Canucks with a 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Vancouver dominated all night long outshooting the Hawks 48-14.

Vancouver will travel down south and take on their closest geographical rival in the Seattle Kraken. Here are three bets I like for tonight’s game.

There’s plenty of speculation linking Canucks captain Bo Horvat to the Seattle Kraken, this could be a live audition for Bo and I expect him to be all over the ice.

Elias Pettersson to register a power play point at +130. My $10 would return $23.

Pettersson has been quiet on the powerplay recently but Seattle’s penalty kill is 31st in the league. I like Pettersson to jump-start a struggling Canucks PP tonight.

Seattle Kraken to win money-line at -181. My $10 bet would return $15.50.

Vancouver is a perfect 6-0 against the Seattle Kraken, but this is not the same Kraken team as year one. Vancouver is outmatched here on a second night of a back to back.

Bo Horvat to register over 2.5 shots at -134. My $10 bet would return $17.50.  – HIT
