Vancouver at Minnesota

Minnesota lost to Vancouver 6-2 a week ago and it's revenge-time. Vancouver has been surprisingly better on the road than at home this season but we don't expect that to continue forever. Minnesota is as good as it gets at home on defense. They have held opponents in nine games to 1.7 goals per game here, leading to a 7-2 record. The Wild are now 23-6 in early-season play this season and last. Vancouver is showing signs of fatigue. They are coming off of no rest and this is their third game in four days. They are just 4-16 over the past couple of seasons on the road when playng three games in four days. We liek Minnesota here, a team that is 21-9 revenging a road loss over the past couple of seasons.
