The Montreal Canadians travel across to take on the Minnesota Wild.
These are two of the best teams in NHL, and should be a very good match up in Saint Paul.
The Minnesota Wild won the last match up between the two teams.
Montreal Canadians
The Montreal Canadians have been hot as of late. They have only had one loss in regulation in their last ten games.

Not only have the Canadians been good, they have been scoring a lot of goals.
They have scored 3 or more goals in eight of their last ten games.
The story of this game will be the goal tending. Carey Price has been having another fabulous year. Price has won 20 of this 30 starts and is only allowing 2.12 goals against per game.
He also has a save percentage of .928 percent.
One thing to watch in this game is that the Canadians are coming off the second end of a back to back. They play in Winnipeg on Wednesday night, so the first period will be big for them.
Minnesota Wild
The Canadians might be hot, but the Minnesota Wild are hotter. They have only lost one game in regulation in their last ten games, and are charging fast behind the Blackhawks.
Bruce Boudreau has breathed life into this Wild team, something Mike Yeo couldn’t seem to do.
The only thing that has really changed from last years team is that the Wild added Eric Staal who has been really good this year.
But the Wild have been able to come back from deficits, which is something they couldn’t do in years past.

The anchor of this team is in net. Devan Dubnyk has been a star this season. He has 21 wins on the season, and is only giving up an impressive 1.80 goals per game.
He has a save percentage of .939. I expect the Wild to come out aggressive and try to get a couple goals early on the tired legs of the Canadians.

Free Montreal Canadians vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Hockey Prediction:
This game is going to come down to what team is able to score on the other’s great goaltender. It should be low scoring game that features a lot of shots but not a lot of goals.

I am giving the edge to the Wild for two reason, they are at home and the Canadians are on the second leg of a back to back.
