Schule's NHL PRIMETIME PUNISHER
(NHL) Vancouver vs. St. Louis, 10/23/2014 4:00 PM, Score: 4 - 1
Point Spread: 1.50 | -185.00 Vancouver (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 7* play on the Vancouver Canucks +1.5.

The Canucks are looking to bounce back from a 6-3 loss to the Stars in Dallas on Tuesday, as they head to St. Louis to take on the Blues tonight. This is a good spot for the visitors, as the Blues have several players sidelined with a flu virus. "Our health is not great right now," Ken Hitchcock said. "We're just seeing who can play and who can't play, and seeing what we can get out of the next two games. Five or six guys on the team, they have a bacterial ailment and we're seeing who it pops up with. We are in a very fluid situation right now."

The Blues were shutout in a 3-0 loss at Anaheim on Sunday, with two of the Ducks three goals coming on the power-play. Vancouver took all three meetings in this series last year, and Eddie Lack posted a 0.97 GAA in those games. He played well in relief of Miller in the loss to Dallas, sparking a rally that saw the Canucks get the better of the stars in the final two periods of that game.

The top line continued to produce points, with Radim Vrbata scoring his fourth goal of the season assisted by Henrik and Daniel. They've been hot since coming together in the pre-season, and they get a crack at the Blues backup goalie Jake Allen tonight. The 24 year old is making just his second starts of the season. He's allowed six goals on 50 shots while going 1-1 versus the Canucks in his career.

Take VAN.
