You could quite easily make the argument that Nashville should be up 3-1 in this series, or at the very least, it should be knotted up at two games apiece. Instead, Vancouver skates at home for a chance to advance, and after that demoralizing loss Sunday, I don't see the Preds winning here. Nashville has dominated in shots this series, but there have just been these brief windows in these games where it all goes up in smoke with a few quick Vancouver goals. I'm backing the Canucks to handle business, and a prop parlay of JT Miller and Brock Boeser to each get a point at +109 is a great look. Miller has five points in his past two and Boeser has four.
It's been galling for the Preds, who watched two backup goalies beat them in Nashville and lose once while allowing only 12 shots on goal. Moreover, blowing Sunday's game when up 3-1 inside of three minutes to play, then watching the Canucks score 1:02 into OT, was another gut-punch. Still, the Preds are not out of this series yet, and have been outskating the Canucks while leading a good portion of the four games. We'll also see who's in goal for Vancouver after 3rd-stringer Arturs Silov got the call on Sunday, with Game 3 winner Casey DeSmith a late scratch (Thatcher Demko remains out). Nashville capable of getting this series back to Bridgestone. Play Preds on Money Line
