The Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Vancouver Canucks look for a win after splitting their last 6 games. The Ottawa Senators look to snap a 5-game losing streak.

Bo Horvat leads Vancouver with 10 goals, Elias Pettersson has 10 assists and Andrei Kuzmenko has 35 shots on goal.

The over is 4-1 in Canucks last 5 overall. The over is 4-0 in Senators last 4 Tuesday games. The Canucks are 11-5 in the last 16 meetings.

I guess the Ottawa Senators are the better team here and playing at home helps, but I’m not laying juice with a team that’s riding a 5-game losing streak. I’m just not doing yet. Yes, the Vancouver Canucks have issues of their own, and they’re downright awful defensively, but at least we’re getting plus money with our bad team. The Senators are not. It’s Vancouver or pass for me.
