69% (nice) of the money is on the Wild in this one and I don’t blame them. The Wild have looked unbelievable since late November after acquiring Ryan Reaves.
He’s obviously a huge part in changing the complexion of the team but each line has been firing on all cylinders and they’re also getting good goaltending from their platoon of Marc Andre-Fleury and Gustavsson.
Central Division Dogfight
The Central Division is an absolute war right now which is only bound to get harder and harder when Colorado inevitably gets healthier. Points are hard to come by right now as their 6-4 record over their last 10 games indicate.
Nashville is also starting to climb the ranks and put some wins together.
Minnesota Wild
The Wild are no doubt playing great hockey right now but their underlying numbers do indicate some regression is on its way.

Their offensive metrics are at best middle of the pack and in some cases below league average i.e. their goals per game is at 17th in the NHL with a mere 3.14, tied with Carolina.
The Wild hold a considerable advantage in the power play facet of the game which I found surprising when researching this one. The Wild are 14th in the NHL and Carolina sits at 26th with 22.8% and 18.3% rates, respectively.
Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes offensive output is surprising and as a frequent backer of them, especially in the playoffs, I am not as sold on them as most. They’re clearly a good team and they often control play at 5on5 and are currently winners of three straight games.
What they are however is a soft team and when games are taken to the trenches by their opponents Carolina seems either unwilling or unfit to change their game. When Aho and Svechnikov are struggling to produce offence they don’t seem to adapt and drive pucks to the net, or look for rebounds.
I hate to sound like the old guy here and clearly this is very nitpicky and not their style it’s just a gripe I have had for the last three seasons and it doesn’t bode very well against a team like Minnesota who plays a very hard nosed game.
Frederik Anderson Returns
Anderson has returned from IR and is expected to get the nod for this one.

I will take a shot with the Wild as road pups. I like the matchup for them.
I think if they stick to their game and make Carolina play a physical battle they can wear them down and take care of business.
