This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. We won with St. Louis on Sunday as the Blues won in overtime behind a solid effort from goalie Jake Allen who we expected to be in the net but now they will have Jordan Binnington between the pipes tonight and he has struggled since the restart. It was the first win for St. Louis since play resumed and while it has what it takes to make a run at defending its Stanley Cup, Binnington was the main factor last season and he is not the same. Meanwhile, Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom has been vey sharp with a 2.32 GAA and a .929 save percentage during the postseason. The top two lines for Vancouver continue to dominate and we expect the Canucks to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. 10* (60) Vancouver Canucks
