Intertops betting players should definitely tune in to some NHL action on Saturday night, as Vancouver will host Washington in a meeting of two teams that have one eye on competing for the Stanley Cup this season.

Capitals Canucks Odds – Saturday, 10:00 PM ET

The Capitals flexed their muscles in a 7-1 romp over Detroit last Saturday in a matchup of the last two unbeaten teams in the league, and they could still be undefeated by this Saturday as they’ll be in Edmonton on Thursday. The Capitals are back to their offensive ways, and your price per head bookmaking agent will tell you this version of Washington is much better than last year’s attempt to play defense.

The Canucks will be in Edmonton on Tuesday, carrying a two-game win streak into that contest, and they also play St. Louis at home on Wednesday, so they have a busy week. The trade for David Booth gives them some punch, and he is a good friend of Ryan Kesler, who has two points in three games since returning from injury.

NHL odds will favor the Canucks at home in this showdown, and they’re 4-1 in their last five in Vancouver against the Capitals, with three games going over the posted total, but the last two have gone under. Look for both teams to bring their big guns in a huge matchup, but the Canucks will want to protect their home ice before heading out on a road trip. Vancouver is the sport betting online pick here.
