Vancouver at Minnesota

Vancouver has won six of its past seven to stay alive in the playoff race. They have a winning road record this season, taking six of their last eight away from home, and they're also 22-12 after playing three straight home games. The Canucks are 8-3 when playing their third game in four nights, anchored by a D that ranks eighth in goals allowed and sixth in save percentage. Minnesota is ranked #17 in goals surrendered and the Canucks are 16-12 on the road versus defenses that allow 29+ shots on goal per game. And the road team has won five of the last meetings between these teams. Play Vancouver.
