The St. Louis Blues and Minnesota WIld face off on Wednesday in an NHL playoff game at the Xcel Energy Center. In the first game of this series it was the Blues that came away with the 4-0 victory.
The Blues were up 2-0 at the end of the first period and they never looked back as they cruised to the victory.
St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues have not taken back home ice advantage, and they have to be confident after the way they looked in the first game. David Perron had a big game for the Blues scoring three goals and adding an assist.
The Blues sit with a 49-21-11 record overall which gave them 109 points. The Blues scored 307 goals while their defense has given up 235 goals. The offense is ranked 4th while their defense is ranked 10th.
Vladimir Tarasenko has been the top player for the Blues scoring 34 goals and adding another 48 assists. In this game if the Blues get out to a fast start, they will be in good shape to secure the victory.
Minnesota Wild
On the other side of this matchup is the MInnesota Wild who’s offense looked awful in the first game and they need to find a way to get more scoring in this game. I also expect we will see Cam Talbot in net in this game.
The Wild have scored 306 goals this season while their defense has given up 252 goals. The offense is ranked 5th best in the league while their defense is ranked 19th.
Kirill Kaprizov has been the top player for Minnesota scoring 47 goals and adding another 61 assists for 108 points. There have been four different players that have had at least 65 points this season.

Free St. Louis Blues vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction
I think the goaltending change is going ot be big for the Minnesota Wild, and he is going to lockdown the Blues offense in this game. Look for the lack of scoring by the Blues to be the difference as the Wild get the job done. Back the Wild on the money line.
