Hurricanes vs Canucks best bet: Kevin Lankinen Over 27.5 saves (-120)

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen has been lit up to the tune of an .800 save percentage and 5.20 GAA across his past seven appearances, so we’re landing a fair total for his saves total tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Hurricanes are second in the league in shots per game (32.1) and pace the NHL in Corsi For percentage at five-on-five, so Carolina is positioned to pepper Lankinen with rubber.

Additionally, Vancouver has allowed an average of 30.9 shots over its past eight games and just traded away top-four defenseman Tyler Myers.

He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
