NHL: Vancouver vs. Boston
<dl><dt>Pick:</dt><dd>Boston</dd><dt>Start:</dt><dd> February 4 </dd></dl>Save for a loss to the rival Habs on Thursday, the Bruins have really been rolling lately. I like them tonight.
The same cannot be said for Vancouver's recent fortunes as the Canucks have dropped four straight and five of the last six. The latest loss came last night in Detroit when they were shut out 2-0. On the bright side, it was the first time in five games they didn't allow at least four goals. It was the return of both coach John Tortorella and captain Henrik Sedin. It obviously didn't matter. They were 0 for 5 on the power play, continuing an absolutely dreadful stretch that has seen them go 3 for 46 w/ the man advatage the last 13 games. They have won just four of those games overall, two of those coming in extra time, while eight of the nine losses have occurred in regulation.
Meanwhile, the B's have won five of six. After an incredible streak that saw them score six goals in three consecutive games, they suffered their lone loss during this stretch Thursday vs. Montreal. But they bounced back Saturday w/ a 4-0 shutout of lowly Edmonton. They outshot the Oilers 41-22. With these teams heading in opposite directions, take the home favorite.
