The Minnesota Wild host the Seattle Kraken. Minnesota is in the first wild card spot with 81 points. They are tied with the Kings with 81 points for the #3 spot in the Central division. Minnesota is 4-5-1 in their last ten. The Kraken have tallied 63 points. They are 4-5-1 in their last ten. Seattle is 15th in the league with 2.97 goals per game and 25th in shots per game. On the defensive end, they rank 24th in goals against at 3.21, and rank 28th in shots against. Minnesota ranks 25th with 2.71 goals per game while ranking 23rd in shots per game. On the defensive end, they rank 11th in goals against per game with 2.84, and 27th in shots against per game. Seattle will be playing the second game of a back-to-back. Minnesota will still be without Kaprizov, so their offense will once again be limited. Minnesota has scored only ten goals combined in their last six games and Seattle has scored 4+ goals in three of their last five games.

Minnesota is one of the worst teams in the league in scoring even when Kaprizov is playing. Minnesota will be without two of their best offensive players and Gustavsson should be able to limit Seattle's offensive output. Both teams have played to more unders than overs this season. oth are ranked 23rd or lower in shots per game which limits the goal scoring opportunities for both teams. I don’t see a lot of goals in this game.

Play on the UNDER. This is 3% play.
