NHL Hockey Betting: Vancouver at Montreal

Alex Burrows and Henrik and Daniel Sedin will try to carry the Vancouver Canucks to an eighth straight victory tonight against the struggling Montreal Canadiens.

NHL hockey betting odds have the Canucks listed as -146 road favorites.

Henrik Sedin already has surpassed his career high with 25 goals, and with four points against Montreal can match his career high with 82. He’s already done it once this season by scoring two goals and assisting on two others in a 7-1 home rout of the Canadiens on Oct. 7.

The Sedin twins and Burrows have combined for 14 goals and 25 assists during the seven-game winning streak, and Burrows posted a club-record 15 goals in January. Vancouver hasn’t won eight straight since a 10-game run in 2002.

Jaroslav Halak will likely start for Montreal considering his shutout of Vancouver last season and his 8-3-2 record with a 2.06 goals-against average since Dec. 19.
