The Minnesota Wild will look to bounce back from being demolished 9-1 on Friday night. Kirill Kaprizov leads the Wild in scoring with 34 points including a team-high 16 goals and 18 assists while Kevin Fiala has 25 points with 14 goals and 11 apples. Joel Greenway has 24 points with 19 assists while Mats Zuccarello has 16 assists and Joel Eriksson Ek has 13 goals this season. As a team, Minnesota is averaging 3 goals per game on 28.8 shots with a 14.8% success rate on the power play while allowing 2.5 goals on 30.8 shots against with an 84.9% success rate on the PK this season.
The St. Louis Blues will look to take another matchup against the Wild after Friday night’s drubbing. David Perron leads the Blues in scoring with 39 points including a team-high 26 assists while Ryan O’Reilly has 38 points with a team-high 16 goals on the year. Brayden Schenn has 27 points with 12 goals and 15 assists while Jordan Kyrou’s on 25 points with 10 goals and 15 assists. Torey Krug also has 22 points with 21 assists for the Blues this season.

Minnesota is 4-1 in their last 5 games played on no rest and 18-8 in their last 26 games overall while the over is 11-2 in their last 13 road games. St. Louis is 1-4 in their last 5 games played on no rest and 7-19 in their last 26 home games while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. The favorite is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams.
I get that the Blues looked like they’ve righted the ship in dominating the Wild last time out, but realistically, you’d have to think that the Wild will be fired up here after being humiliated on Friday. Call me stubborn if you want, but I think the Wild exact their revenge here. I’ll back the Wild in this spot.
