ANALYSIS

We are backing Vancouver as a contrarian 'sell low' play against a Columbus team currently overvalued following Rick Bowness’ successful coaching debut on Tuesday. While the Canucks are mired in an eight-game skid, they conclude their grueling season-long road trip with elite production from Elias Pettersson, who has netted 10 goals in his last 20 games. By fading the public’s 60% backing of the Blue Jackets, we are betting on the Canucks' higher talent ceiling to stabilize and provide massive value in this spot.
Key Data
Public Money Volume: 60% on Blue Jackets, Win Probability: 0.405

OUTCOME

Blue Jackets 4 - Canucks 1
Vancouver's offensive woes continued as they were held to just one goal by Columbus. The Blue Jackets utilized their size on the blue line to limit the Canucks' puck movement, while Jet Greaves' 13th win of the season was built on high-danger save consistency.
