Hurricanes at Canucks expected goaltenders

Pyotr Kochetkov (2-1-0, 2.70 GAA, .896 SV%) vs. Kevin Lankinen (4-0-1, 1.95 GAA, .930 SV%, 1 SO)

Kochetkov is confirmed to start Monday. He allowed 2 goals on 32 shots in Calgary on Thursday and will be between the pipes to give the G Frederik Andersen a bit of a respite after the long journey. Kochetkov has allowed 6 goals on 51 shots in 2 starts on the trip, split with a win and a loss.

Lankinen is with his 3rd team in the last 5 NHL seasons and it looks like he has found a home in Vancouver. He has won his last 4 starts, allowing 3 or fewer goals in each of his 5 outings. He turned aside 21 of 24 shots in his last outing, a 4-3 home win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.

Hurricanes by Canucks picks and predictions

Forecast

Canucks 4, Hurricanes 3

Moneyline

The CANUCKS (+110) is a good bet at home against the road-weary Hurricanes (-130).

Yes, Carolina has won 3 in a row on the trip, but that runs into a red-hot goalie and Vancouver team that has won 4 in a row.

The Canucks have also been the kryptonite of the ‘Canes lately, sweeping the series last season while winning 3 in a row and 5 of the last 8 meetings.

Puckline/Against the spread

If you are a more conservative player, Canucks +1.5 (-225) is far too expensive. You have to risk 2.25 times the potential return for a little bit of insurance, and that’s never a good idea on underdog puck lines. A close game at the end can be ruined by an empty goal.

If you like Vancouver, just bet straight up.

PASS on a moneyline bet.

Over/Under

OVER 6 (-105) is the skinny one, but go easy on one play in half unit at best.

While Under has conceded in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head meetings in Vancouver, the total surpassed last season at Rogers, a Canucks’ 4-3 win against the visiting Hurricanes.

Carolina has also conceded the Under in 3 straight games on this trip, allowing just 5 goals.

However, Vancouver’s offense has lit the lamp 10 times in the past 2 games while allowing 6 goals. Lankinen has won, but he can still be very rewarding. With Kochetkov in there, and not Andersen, we could get a decent number of goals here.
