T.M. Selection: Vancouver Canucks.

I like the Vancouver Canucks to win against the Columbus Blue Jackets in this game on Tuesday. The Canucks have started to get hot lately and have gone on a bit of a run winning 4 games in a row and they only have 1 loss in their previous 7 games. This game is going to conclude a 6 game home stand that they are on but they have looked great in those games. They lost the 1st game of that stand but won 4 in a row after that and their defense and goalkeeping has looked great. During this 4 game run of wins, they have recorded 1 shutout and they have given up more than 1 goal in just 1 of those games. I think that they are going to keep up that great play here and win this game with their defense and a lot of help from Demko. Demko had a very good year for them last year and after a rough start this year, he is starting to look like that great form he was in last year again. The Blue Jackets just edged out an OT win in Seattle in their most recent game but they have looked like a huge mess in their games lately. They have won just 2 of their previous 8 games and the last time these 2 met was in Columbus at the end of November and the Blue Jackets won that game 4-2. Now the tables have turned for this game, the Canucks will be on their home ice and now they are playing great lately while the Blue Jackets have struggled to win games since their last meeting with the Canucks, only picking up 2 wins since then. The Blue Jackets have also looked terrible on defense and have given up 4+ goals in 3 of their previous 4 games. I think this Blue Jackets team is a mess at the moment and the Canucks have been hot lately. I like the Canucks to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Canucks.
