After a goalless 1st period, the Canucks scored 5 without reply in the 2nd period as JT Miller, Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat each scored twice.

Best Bet of the Day
Los Angeles Lakers ML over Los Angeles Clippers
10:00 pm ET, ESPN
All eyes will be on the Lakers in this 2nd part of the regular season as they try to make the postseason. Injuries haven’t been kind to the Lakers — they’ll be without Anthony Davis for at least a month after he twisted his ankle against the Jazz, right before the break. The good news is LeBron James is back and healthy. He put on a show in the all-star game and if he can maintain his level of play from the 1st part of the season I think the Lakers will be just fine.
LA has 8 wins in their last 11 home games. Both teams are missing key players here, but the Lakers are more equipped with the likes of James and Westbrook playing on a high level. With the Clippers winning the last 5 meetings, it’s time for the Lakers to end that streak. Read our full game preview for Clippers vs Lakers.
