Vancouver Canucks vs New Jersey Devils Prediction

I’m on the over here. The two meetings last season saw a combined 21 goals, and while Lankinen’s been solid, I’m still not 100% sold on him and think he could be due to give up a handful of goals. On the other side, the goaltending for New Jersey’s been questionable at best, and I think that these two teams could produce another 5-4 kind of Game. Give me the over.
