I am by no means a chalk bettor, even in the littlest sense. I typically get burned by the chalk, actually. Both teams are very hot. And under is paying plus money, so that is worth a look as well. However, Lehtonen is not in net, and he has been a big part of their success. Obviously Vancouver is the better team here, but this game might mean more to Dallas. While pondering this play, I looked back to the last time these two have played and Vancouver threw the game away. Vancouver is top 3 in almost all powerplay stats, while dallas is in the bottom 3 for these stats. Prior to the last game, Vancouver had won 6 in a row in this matchup. I expect them to start up a new streak here. Coming off a trap game against Buffalo, Vancouver knows Detroit is hurting and NEEDs to take advantage of this and get as many points as possible.
