The Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks meet in an all-Canadian clash on Sunday night.
The pregame narrative: Calgary enters this game off back-to-back wins after downing the Dallas Stars on Saturday. Vancouver, meanwhile, has lost consecutive games and is looking to get back on track. I'm betting on a star from each side to step up and deliver.
Check out my Flames vs. Canucks prop picks for the game on Nov. 23 in Vancouver, featuring Quinn Hughes and Jonathan Huberdeau.

Flames vs. Canucks prop picks
Best Bet: Hughes over 2.5 shots (-117)
Hughes only has one goal this season, but it's not for a lack of trying.
The Canucks defenceman is 20th in shots (46) despite playing in just 17 games. He's the only player inside the top 20 of the stat who has played fewer than 20 games.
Hughes hasn't topped this line in either of his last two games, but you could argue he's gotten a bit unlucky. He has totalled 17 shot attempts in those two games.
-> Bet on Hughes against the Flames
His chances of having more shots get through from the point are strong against the Flames. Calgary ranks 25th in shot blocks per game (14.1).
The Flames are also playing their second game in as many nights. Fatigue could be a factor that leads to clearer shooting lanes for Hughes.
Hughes is tied for first on the Canucks in points (20) despite missing five games. The offence will continue to flow through him, which means he'll have plenty of opportunities with the puck on his stick.
Key stat: Hughes has three-plus shots in four of his last six games.
Best NHL prop picks
Huberdeau to score 1+ points (-134): There's a little bit of juice to pay on this prop, but I'm willing to pay it given Huberdeau's recent play.
The Flames forward is putting his slow start behind him. Huberdeau had just eight points through the first 14 games of the season. He now has four points in his last four contests.

The matchup is right, too, against a defensively inept Vancouver side. The Canucks are allowing the second-most goals per game (3.68), while ranking third in expected goals against (3.61).
Vancouver has allowed four-plus goals in five of its last six games. These issues aren't getting any better, and with Thatcher Demko still out, bettors should continue to pick on the Canucks.
