Canucks vs Blue Jackets prediction
Canucks vs Blue Jackets best bet: Jake DeBrusk Over 2.5 shots (-110)
Vancouver Canucks winger Jake Debrusk has recorded three or more shots in six of his past eight games while skating in a top-line role and jumping the boards with the No. 1 power-play unit.
DeBrusk’s 30 shots and 55 attempts during the stretch both pace the Canucks, and the Columbus Blue Jackets have allowed the third-most shots per game (30.9) and sixth-most attempts per 60 minutes at 5-on-5.
It’s also been a breakout year in terms of DeBrusk’s shot volume. He ranks in the 96th percentile among forwards in shots on goal, with his 17.16 attempts per 60 minutes a career high.

Canucks vs Blue Jackets same-game parlay
Vancouver played the Ottawa Senators tough in a 2-1 loss Tuesday, and the Canucks capping off their six-game road trip with a win tonight is in the cards — given they’ve posted a 10th-ranked 52.5 Corsi For percentage and middling 50.6 expected goals percentage at 5-on-5 during the eight-game skid.
Improvement on their 31st-ranked 6.8 team shooting percentage at 5-on-5 is the missing ingredient in the Canucks pulling off the road upset tonight.
Elias Pettersson has two or more shots in eight of 10 games since returning from an upper-body injury, and he’s averaged a healthy 18:34 of ice time with 3:42 on the power play during the run.
