Sean's NHL SATURDAY POWER PLAY! 74-49 RUN!

Vancouver Canucks (37-29-13) vs Minnesota Wild (43-30-7)

Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 10:00 pm

My selection is on Minnesota over Vancouver at 10 pm et on Saturday.

The Wild head to Vancouver looking to bounce back after a 4-2 loss in Calgary last night, a result that halted their two-game winning streak. Despite that setback, Minnesota remains one of the league's better road teams, owning a 22-13-5 record away from home while consistently showing resilience in tough spots. Saturday offers a prime revenge opportunity after falling 3-1 here back on March 7th.

Vancouver returns home off back-to-back road upsets in Dallas and Colorado — impressive results, but also ones that set up a classic letdown scenario. The Canucks have already been eliminated from playoff contention and might not bring the same energy in a non-playoff spoiler role, especially with two more home games remaining after this one.

It’s also worth noting that the Canucks have struggled at Rogers Arena, going just 16-15-7 on home ice, where they've been outscored by an average of 0.4 goals per game. Minnesota, with more to prove and fresher motivation, should capitalize.

Take Minnesota over Vancouver. Projected score: Wild 4, Canucks 2.

Sean’s Pick Minnesota Wild: +100
