Minnesota Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks Prediction
I’m on the Wild here. The Canucks continue to disappoint and continue to have problems getting out of their own way and I don’t think that changes here, even with Minnesota on the back-to-back here. The Canucks are playing how I expected them to from day one, and I think Minnesota takes advantage of the matchup here. Give me Minnesota.
