Vancouver Canucks vs. Minnesota Wild Prediction

I’m on the Canucks here. I just don’t think the Wild should be laying this kind of price against anyone right now, even at home where they also haven’t been great this season. Vancouver hasn’t been stellar, but I think they’re good enough here to get the win at a great plus price even if it’s more of a fade of the Wild than anything else.
