Kirill Kaprizov has 10 goals in nine games, and the Wild are plus money in Edmonton. I’ll take that. McDavid and Draisaitl are going to get theirs, but Minnesota has been the better team at pushing the puck, and the price is too good.
The Matchup
- Kaprizov is on fire. The Wild are 6-2-1, Kaprizov has 10 goals, and Matt Boldy has five. Minnesota has outshot opponents 266 to 228.
- Edmonton scores in bunches. The Oilers are 6-1-1 and score 4.62 goals a game. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have six goals each. But Edmonton has been outshot 208 to 195.
- Puck drop. 9:00 PM ET at Rogers Place.
The Goalies
Jesper Wallstedt is expected for Minnesota, at 92.1% through eight starts.
Devon Levi is expected for Edmonton after Tristan Jarry started Saturday. Levi is at 89.7% through five.
The Number
Take the margin out and the market makes Edmonton about a 55% favorite. Minnesota has the better goalie and the better shot numbers, so I’ll take the plus money.
The honest case against: McDavid and Draisaitl can beat anybody on any night, and Edmonton at home is a tough out. It’s a Game Pick, a lean, and like every pick we post, it lands on the receipts page win or lose.
Bottom Line
Take the Wild on the moneyline at . Lean. The hotter scorer, the better goalie and plus money. Wild.
Lines as posted Tuesday at 2:23 PM ET. Wallstedt and Levi are the expected starters; check before puck drop.
Same-Game Parlay
One read in two legs. If Minnesota wins in Edmonton, Kaprizov is probably the reason. He has 10 goals in nine games and has scored in six of them. Every leg needs the same night, so this is one position, not two bets.
The angleKaprizov finds the net again and Minnesota steals one in Edmonton.
