Florida at Minnesota

Minnesota will try again to get past the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2015 and the Wild will depend on Kirill Kaprizov, who scored 40 goals and assisted on 35 last season. The Wild have depth in the first and second lines with Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello, along side of Kaprizov and Matt Boldy. Filip Gustavsson is confirmed for this game and he played in 39 games in 2022-23, and was 22-9-7 with a 2.10 goals-against average and .931 save percentage and he started five of the six playoff games ahead of Marc-Andre Fleury. Florida is ripe for a letdown after overachieving in the playoffs and making it to the final plus the Panthers will have a heavy turnover on the defensive side. Sergei Bobrovsky did not have one of his best seasons and finished 24-20-3 with a 3.07 GAA and he is confirmed for tonight's game. Minnesota has won 78 of 114 home games. Take the Wild - Max Play.
