yn led Nashville in goals this season but neither has scored a point in this series. Neither has center Mike Fisher. For the first time in a while, the Canucks will be under no pressure in this game. All the pressure is on the Preds to win otherwise they’ll have the daunting task of going back to Vancouver and trying to extend the series back to Nashville. This game is actually crucial for the Canucks. When they look at the other semi-final and see San Jose up 3-0, the last thing they want is another long series here before facing what looks to be a rested Sharkies. They need to finish this inferior group off quickly and put any doubt to rest. The Canucks have to be feeling confident, knowing they’ve dominated play for the most part and only the goaltending of Pekka Rinne kept games one and three close. The scores were flattering to Nashville, but tonight’s score may not be. Play: Vancouver -½ +140 (Risking 2 units).
