Vancouver Canucks vs Minnesota Wild Prediction

Give me the Wild here. The Wild are giving up only 2.33 goals per game and even a strong offense like the Canucks are going to really struggle to get going here. The Wild are averaging 3.21 goals per game and Kaprizov is going to continue his success scoring. The Canucks just aren’t going to have enough offense to keep this game close. Back the Wild on the money line to cash here.
