Vegas odds for tonight’s Game 5 of the Los Angeles Kings vs Vancouver Canucks NHL Playoff series are now posted on NSAwins.com and vegas linemakers have made the Vancouver Canucks a -185 moneyline favorite with the total set at over/under 5.5 goals. The Canucks and Kings resume their exciting 1st round series tonight in Vancouver deadlocked at 2-2 after four exciting games with tonight’s crucial Game 5 promising to be the most exciting game yet between these two evenly matched clubs. The Kings had a golden oppurtunity to take full command of the series and go up 3-1 heading into the 3rd period at home Wednesday night with a 3-1 lead, but were outscored 4-1 in the final period as Vancouver tied the series with a 6-4 Game 4 win and set themselves up to take control tonight in front of their raucous fans. “They were up at home and could have made it 3-1 so I’m sure it stings a little today,” Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo said. “But it’s the playoffs and there’s no reason for us to believe they are going to just lean over and give us the series. They’re going to come here to take a game.” There are strong reasons to believe that the sixth-seeded Kings could do just that tonight. Their power play has been superb converting on nine of 16 oppurtunities, including a run of six straight midway through Game 4. Their full strength 5-on-5 play excelled the first two periods of Game 4 moreso than any other stretch in the series. And they have been one of the best road teams in the NHL throughout the season, winning Game 2 in Vancouver against a Canucks team that flat out dominated the regular season at home going 30-8-3.
