Vancouver at Minnesota

This one sets up much the same way as last night's Vancouver matchup with the Rangers. Roberto Luongo was a hot goaltender producing four shutouts in six games, but the last three were at home. He has cooled off since. The road resume’ for the Canucks’ goaltending and defense is radically different from their home resume’. They have allowed 3.9 goals per game in 10 road outings. Minnesota net-minder Niklas Backstrom has been strong all season, but has actually performed better on the road as he allows two goals per game at home. The Wild offense is coming on as they have scored nine in their last three games compared to just 10 in their previous six. This one shapes up like last night's Canuck's game, and I look for the same result and will back the OVER here.
