Vancouver @ Dallas 5pm PST

Tonight should be a good and gritty matchup between Vancouver and Dallas. Vancouver comes into this game with a 8-0-1 record over the past 10 games. Dallas meanwhile is 5-3-2 in the last 10 and coming off a loss to Detroit on Wednesday. Dallas is an impressive 12-5-3 at home this year while the Canucks are 9-5-3 on the road. Schneider will get the start in net tonight.

Vancouver needs to come out hard in the first period and try and get a goal in early as Dallas likes to hang around long enough to get the extra point in OT/SO at the very least. I do expect Vancouver to win this game, not a slight on Dallas because they are a good team but I don't see any signs of Vancouver's game letting down right now. Usually when teams are at the end of a streak they start to win games they shouldn't have won, and I haven't seen many signs of that as of yet.
