Minnesota at Vancouver

The Wild have looked bad in March. But, they've managed a .500 record over their last four games including an impressive win at Edmonton last night. Vancouver has won 3 of 4 but they've lost 7 of their last 11 overall so things aren't completely rosy for them. Vancouver has won 4 of the 6 matchups this season but Minnesota has kept it very close in their losses losing by 1 goal in two of the four and 2 goals in the other two. Vancouver can score but their defense is very susceptible. They are allowing over 3 goals per game this season overall, 3.4 to division opponents and 3.6 over their last five games. Their defense has looked horrible since mid March, allowing 7 goals to Detroit, 3 to Edmonton twice and 4 last game to Los Angeles. Just the type of defense that Minny needs to face right now. Don't be surprised in Minnesota pulls off the surprise here.
