This is a 10* on OVER

This qualification series stands at one game apiece with Minnesota having won the first game 3-0 and Vancouver battling back to take Game 2 by a score of 4-3. Obviously, the big difference between the two games is how the Canucks’ skaters performed in the second game. We had Vancouver in Game 2 and noted the Canucks not only had more regular season points than the Wild, but also a better goal differential. They aren’t really being priced as the higher seed in this series though, which is a bit interesting. Vancouver is also dealing with injuries as Tyler Toffoli left Game 2 and forward Michael Ferland had to leave the bubble for medical treatment. Still, the reunited “Lotto Line” was the difference maker on Tuesday and I still expect the Canucks to be able to score in this one. The Wild have obviously scored three goals in both games so far. The Over is 15-5-1 in Vancouver’s last 21 games overall. The Over is also 5-2 the last seven times the Wild have played on exactly one day of rest. Each team gave up plenty of goals on the road this year, so expect this to continue to be a high-scoring series. Play on OVER
