NHL Betting Online – Game 7 – Chicago at Vancouver. The Vancouver Canucks have lost the last three games in their series against the Chicago Blackhawks but they are still solid favorites in NHL betting online in Game 7 on Tuesday.

It is definitely surprising to see Chicago such a big underdog on Tuesday in NHL betting at SBG.
Canucks -165, total 5.5
The Canucks have lost the last three games of this series but the oddsmakers have them as solid favorites to win Game 7 in NHL betting. It definitely seems strange because Vancouver has not played well since going up 3-0 in the series. Goaltender Roberto Luongo has completely fallen apart and because of his poor play the Blackhawks have rallied to tie this series. Vancouver head coach Alain Vigneault said that Luongo will start Game 7.
Pressure on Vancouver
The Canucks still have the pressure to win Game 7. They were the top seed in the Western Conference and they jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the series. Chicago is still playing loose and there is no doubt that the pressure will be on Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo and the Sedin twins. The Canucks were thought to have this series wrapped up with Luongo in goal and a 3-0 series lead. Their Vezina Trophy finalist goalie decided to stop playing though and was shelled in Games 4 and 5. He didn’t start Game 6 but had to come in when backup Cory Schneider was injured. Luongo gave up the winning goal in overtime as he lost yet again. The Sedin twins have done another disappearing act in the playoffs. In the last three games they have a total of three points and a combined minus-13 rating.
