BS-WSH-LEONSIS LEGACY Wednesday night is the ultimate opportunity for NHL fans, with a lineup of four thrilling matchups that fans eagerly anticipate. One game that stands out on the schedule is the ice cold Vancouver Canucks travelling on the road to the DMV to take on the top team in the East in the Washington Capitals. For bettors, this matchup provides a chance to capitalize on some of our recent strong trends, like our 11-7 record on our last 18 picks and our 12-6 record on our last 18 player prop picks. All betting lines are from Bet365 and are subject to change. Hockey is a difficult sport to predict so please gamble responsibly. Bet: Canucks Capitals Under 5.5 goals (-105), Logan Thompson Under 23.5 saves (-105) The Caps are listed as sizeable favorites in this one as the Canucks have been brutal against the puck line with a 17-22 record, that ranks bottom six in the league. Washington is one of the best betting teams this season as they've won games convincingly with a 25-15 record against the spread. They will also get the advantage of playing at home where the Capitals are 13-4-3 this season. Vancouver may struggle trying to get goals past netminder Logan Thompson, who has dominated at home with a 10-1-2 record and a 2.45 goals against average. Finnish goaltender Kevin Lankinen will get the start for Vancouver after recording a 11-2-2 record and a goals against average of 2.30 in 15 road appearances this season. We look to fade the public in this spot as 87 per cent of betters are riding with the over despite the impressive defensive stats for each team. It should be a slow night for Thompson as the Canucks have forced opposing goaltenders to make 24 or more saves just once in their last eight games.
