Canucks vs. Devils Preview
The "Tickets vs. Money NHL Dogs" system plays on the regular-season tug of war between public tickets and sharper wallets by isolating modest underdogs in the +110 to +150 range that attract a small share of overall tickets but a meaningfully larger share of the money.
When the money percentage exceeds the ticket share by roughly 15 to 30 points, it signals targeted professional interest while the broader market continues to lean toward the favorite, keeping the price from fully adjusting.
In a league defined by parity and low scoring, that mismatch in conviction — combined with a short underdog price — creates strong closing value and a steady stream of live dogs the public is often late to respect.
Canucks vs. Devils Prediction
Overall, the system stands at 202-223 (48%) with an 8% ROI all-time, and it's off to a 20-22 (48%) start this season with a 6% ROI.
