Minnesota fights hard for a playoff spot. Not too long ago, their chances of success seemed slim to none. But after a coaching change, they've begun to climb out of their predicament, inching closer to the Cup Eight. After the All-Star break, the team beat Chicago 2-1, Pittsburgh 3-2, Vegas 5-3, and Arizona 3-1. Only the day before, they suffered a setback in a home game against Buffalo, losing 3-2 in overtime. So far, the Wild sits tenth in the Western Conference standings, four points behind the top 8.
Vancouver
For Vancouver, this season goes smoother. A year ago, we didn't see the Canucks in the cup battles at all, and now that they will certainly be in the playoffs. So far, the Canucks don't have much cup experience, as their recent cup successes belong to the players who have long since left the club. In their last four meetings, they have suffered just one defeat, a 3-2 loss to Winnipeg the day before, while beating Washington 3-2, Chicago 4-2, and Detroit 4-1 to secure first place in the Western Conference.
Expert Betting Tips
Minnesota and Vancouver have been very evenly matched lately, with the Canucks being more stable. Surprisingly, the hosts have played better away, as at home, they have only beaten a struggling Pittsburgh over four previous meetings. Vancouver seems to be noticeably stronger right now.
The opponents rarely scored a lot. The teams shot ten goals in the last four H2H meetings (2.25 per game). All four games ended with the TU, and each time, at least one of the teams scored less than two goals. We do not expect a high performance in the upcoming match either.
