Minnesota Wild Betting Preview

The Wild have gone 2-3 over their last five games, but are currently on a two-game win streak. Their more recent success was a 4-3 outing over the Seattle Kraken. In their last 13 games, they have won in four battles where they scored at least four goals.

Minnesota landed the first goal in the first period to begin their momentum. Mats Zuccarello stood out with a goal and an assist, while Marcus Johansson contributed two key assists to push the offense forward.

The Kraken were strong in their 39 faceoffs won, with a 61.9 percent win percentage. However, the Wild were able to defend well against the Kraken’s 36 shot attempts. The Wild were clearly more accurate with their 20 shot attempts.

The Wild are averaging 2.82 goals a game and are firing off 27.4 shots per game. Their defense is allowing their opponents to average 2.86 shots per matchup, which puts their differential at a slight negative performance.

Vancouver Canucks Betting Preview

The Canucks are 2-3 in their previous five matchups, but just ended a two-game losing streak with a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. This was their first game back home after a five-game road stretch.

Vancouver scored all three of their goals in the second period, giving them a 3-1 lead heading into the third period. Thankfully their offense was strong enough in the second to put them out of reach. Filip Hronek was crucial to moving the puck, with two assists on the night.

Anaheim was held to 16 total shots, while the Canucks fired off a less accurate 36 times. The Canucks were dominant in faceoffs, as they have a percentage at 70.1. They also capitalized on power play opportunities as the only team in this matchup to score, but they only grabbed one goal in five attempts.

The Canucks are averaging 2.73 goals and 25.4 shots per battle. On the defensive end, they are struggling to hold teams to 3.05 goals and 27.1 shots per game. This separation does not offer a positive sign of this upcoming matchup.
