Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Chicago at Vancouver (9:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on Chicago +1.5 goals -240 (puckline) (risk 4 to win 1.7)

Chicago is fresh off their 4-2 series win over Calgary, and won the closeout game on the road rather impressively with a 4-1 easy decision. The Canucks blew through St. Louis in a four- game sweep, but has now been idle for over a week while waiting for the Blackhawks. Chicago has shown a potent offense over their last 10 games where they have scored three goals or more in nine of them, making the puckline look very lucrative here. When you add in a defensive effort that has held 10 of the last 13 teams to two goals or less, it certainly possesses some value. I'm going with the Blackhawks on the puckline here.
