Canucks vs Wild Prediction

The Canucks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but this line feels weird. The Wild have been the better team this season, and they’ve won nine of the last 10 games against the Canucks. You can also argue the Canucks have been better on the road than at home this season, as only 12 of their 28 wins have come on their home ice. The Wild have been road warriors this season, with a 22-9-3 record. Two hit or miss teams lately, so It’s hard to figure out which teams will show up, but the value is with the Wild and the more favorable price.
