Oddsmakers currently have the Canucks listed as 115-moneyline favorites versus the Blues, while the game's total is sitting at 5½.

Vancouver (24-20-8) finished with a 2-5-5 record last month after enduring a miserable eight-game losing streak (0-5-3) from Jan. 9-31. The team was also winless at home, and mired in a franchise-record nine-game skid at GM Place that dated to December.

The Canucks stomped the Blackhawks 7-3 at General Motors Place Saturday night.

Vancouver won as a +105 home underdog while the final score played over the 5.5-goal total.

The Blues rode a three-goal second period to a 4-1 win over the Avalanche at the Scottrade Center Saturday.

St. Louis won as a -138 home favorite while the final score played under the 5.5-goal total.
