Command Analysis

Vancouver Canucks

Current form
After an unsuccessful performance at home and an insulting defeat by Vegas (2:3), Vancouver went to play on the road, where he met with another clear favorite in the person of Dallas. By the middle of the second period, the opponent had earned a three-goal advantage, and everything was heading for another defeat. There was no chance of success after the Stars scored two more goals just three minutes before the final whistle. The Canucks did not give up, but on the contrary, increased their pace, which allowed them to make an incredible comeback, realizing three chances in the last minute of regular time, thereby equalizing the score, and then snatching Victoria in overtime (6:5). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions.
It seems that this victory gave the club a moral boost and self—confidence, which allowed the killer whales to defeat another very serious opponent, Colorado (4:1). Goalkeeper Lankinen proved to be as reliable as possible, deflecting 31 shots out of 32, which avoided problems. The points scored helped the team move closer to the playoff zone, but the gap is still too big and amounts to six points.

Khitil, Pettersson and Juulsen will definitely not play in the upcoming match. Aman also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends

- According to statistics, the Canucks have 27 power moves.

Minnesota Wild

Current form
Minnesota has been in terrible shape for a long time, and the next series of defeats reached four matches in a row. The team showed a very weak defensive game, and its offensive performance also suffered, which together did not allow the Wild to achieve the desired result. Returning to the home arena, the team unexpectedly interrupted a series of failures in a duel with a clear favorite in the person of Dallas, snatching Victoria from him in overtime (3:2). Forward Baldy showed his best side, scoring a goal and providing two assists.
Continuing to perform in their native walls, the savages fought with San Jose and again experienced serious problems in defense, which almost led to defeat from a clear outsider. Having recovered from injury, Kaprizov made a decisive contribution to the victory in his first match, scoring the puck in overtime and winning victory for his club (8:7). In addition, he scored two more points. It is worth noting that one more victory will allow Minnesota to advance to the playoffs ahead of schedule.

Jiřichek will not be able to participate in the match due to injury. Middleton also remains in question.
Interesting betting trends
