Minnesota has been one of the best defensive teams in the league, as they are allowing the third-fewest goals in the league. The Kraken has struggled on the defensive end, giving up the 16th-most goals in the NHL. The Wild have been on a nice points-scoring run, picking up points in 18 of their last 19 games. Minnesota has won three of the last five meetings between the two sides. Seattle is three points behind Edmonton for the 3rd place in the Pacific Division while Minnesota has a 1-point lead over Dallas for the top spot in the Central. The Wild are 14-1-4 over their last 19 games and have won 9 of their last 11 against the Western Division. Seattle has won just three of their last 8 overall and when playing a team with a winning record they have just 23 wins in 70 chances. I like the Wild to get a win in this one.
