Wild vs Blues Prediction

Both teams are 1-1 this season with each one having won on the road. The Blues won 3-1 in Minnesota and the Wild 5-0 in Saint Louis and both teams are tied 5-5 in their last 10 head-to-head matches.

In this Wild vs Blues Prediction, the Wild are coming as -125 road favorites. Minnesota has clinched its playoff spot and Saint Louis has been eliminated so there is no incentive for either team. Both have been playing good defense lately, as the Blues have allowed 3 goals or less in 9 of their last 10 matches and Minnesota has allowed 2 goals or less in 4 of their last 6. The Wild have lost back-to-back games so I like the value with the home dog in this matchup. Take the Blues on the moneyline at home for plus money.
