Vancouver at Minnesota

Vancouver's defense is the cause of its recent troubles allowing 38 goals the last 11 games, with the team on an 8-2-1 run OVER the total. Vancouver’s goaltending has been inconsistent, with Roberto Luongo allowing 11 goals over his last two starts and Cory Schneider earning one win in his last four. The OVER is 8-2-1 in the Canucks last 11 against the Western Conference and face a Minnesota squad that is on a 3-1-1 run OVER the total. And the OVER is 5-2-4 in the Wild's last 11 home games against a team with a losing road record, so look for more offense than oddsmakers expect. Play Vancouver/Minnesota OVER the total.
