As each hockey betting series progresses, storylines—bad blood, controversial calls and unsung heroes—get deeper and deeper. Let’s breakdown what’s happening in the Wild West for tonight’s NHL odds.

Canucks vs Blackhawks odds – Tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET
NHL odds: Canucks +135, Blackhawks -155

The Canucks can afford a loss in this hockey betting series after stealing Game 3 on the road, but the Blackhawks really have to win tonight to make this a series. If they don’t, they’ll face the daunting task of winning not just three straight, but two in Vancouver. The Canucks are a tempting sportsbook pick as the underdog but, as it showed against the Flames after consecutive losses, this Blackhawks team is resilient. Coach Joel Quenneville knows what his team needs to do to even the series tonight: score first. The Canucks have jumped to leads of two or more goals in all three games so far in the Blackhawks vs Canucks odds. With roughly 22,000 hungry fans rocking at the United Center tonight, the Hawks will have plenty of inspiration to come out skating and hitting harder than ever. Expect them to rely on their depth and speed to overcome the Canucks tonight.

Red Wings vs Ducks odds – Tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET
NHL odds: Red Wings -150, Ducks +130

What’s done is done. The referees botched a call bigtime in Game 3, blowing the whistle on a lose puck before Marian Hossa banged it in for a goal, but that happens in sports and the Ducks got the win. However, even if the Wings can’t fight the call, that doesn’t mean they can’t have their revenge. There’s just no way the defending Stanley Cup odds champions will go quietly. They’ll be swift-skating and angry tonight, so don’t be surprised if Jonas Hiller gets overwhelmed in goal for the first time in these playoffs. Bet on the Wings odds to even things up.

Hockey betting pick: Red Wings -150
