Vancouver won the only meeting this season, 1-0, on Oct. 24, and the Canucks come off a 5-2 win at Columbus on Friday. The Canucks scored four goals in the second period, and Jacob Markstrom made 27 saves against the Blue Jackets. Minnesota is playing a back-to-back after last night's 4-1 win over Winnipeg. Matt Dumba scored two third-period goals, and Devan Dubnyk had 32 saves for the Wild. Markstrom has a 2.75 goals-against average this season and hasn't allowed more than three goals his last four starts. Alex Stalock is expected in net for the Wild, and he owns a 7-8-2 record with a 2.71 GAA - and he has lost his last three starts. The Wild is 1-4 its last five games with no rest, and the UNDER is 16-6-1 in the Canucks' last 23 games after a win. Also, Minnesota is 4-0 UNDER with no rest. Play the Canucks and the UNDER.
