10* Under Wild/Canucks (10:45 ET): This qualification series saw Minnesota open with a 3-0 win on Sunday. The Wild scored a goal in all three periods while outshooting the Canucks 31-28. Two of the three goals came on the power play. I was impressed with the Wild’s defensive efforts as Vancouver got very few scoring chances in the third period. However, it’s not like the Wild can count on a similar PP effort every game. I see this being another low-scoring affair. Take the Under.

Vancouver’s last playoff appearance was in 2015 and there’s only three players from that team still left on the roster. They are going to be leaning heavily on goalie Jacob Markstom in this series and he should be better in Game 2 than he was in Game 1. Markstrom had a .918 save percentage and 2.75 GAA in the regular season. The problem is going to be, like we saw in Game 1, will the offense give Markstrom any relief? The top six skates produced only five shots in Game 1.

So far in the postseason, 12 of the 16 games played have stayed Under. If you remove the round robin matchups, the Under is 9-3. Minnesota is 39-29 Under the L3 seasons when coming off a win by 2+goals. All of the Wild’s goals in Game 1 came from defensemen. The fact not a single forward scored in Game 1 is maybe the biggest reason of all to look Under for Game 2. 10* Under Wild/Canucks
