10star picks will be playing Vancouver to defeat Minnesota for their 2 Star Free Pick:
Vancouver was expected to be a top team in the Western Conference this year… After a slow start, they appear to be ready to live up to those expectations… They are 11-5-4 overall, but have been absolutely red hot as of late… They are currently on an 8-1 against the spread tear and have won six consecutive games, both straight up and against the spread… They are coming off of an easy 4-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup Champion, Detroit Red Wings…
Minnesota has been a surprise team this year, going 15-7 against the spread… They are also 8-5 against the spread when playing in front of their home crowd… Vancouver has had no trouble winning on the road, going 6-2 against the spread in their eight road games…
The overall numbers for these two teams are pretty even, but over the last five you can see Vancouver getting some separation… The Canucks are scoring almost two more goals per game, 4.20 to Minnesota’s average of 2.40… The Wild have been slightly better defensively, allowing 1.60 goals per game to Vancouver’s mark of 2.00… Minnesota’ defensive edge is not enough to make up for the difference in fire power…
The Canucks are 3-0 against the spread in the last three meetings, including a 4-2 victory in Minnesota earlier this year… Vancouver will keep its’ hot streak going tonight…
Vancouver 4… Minnesota 2…
