Blues vs Wild Pick
Money Line Pick For Blues vs Wild
- Wild -1.5 (+110) (4 units)
The Wild are one of the best teams in the NHL, and they look to steamroll one of the worst on Sunday. The Wild, who average 3.32 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and overwhelming the Blues with speed on the wings. The Wild, who allow only 2.88 goals per game, should limit the Blues offense, which averages only 2.60 goals per game, with Brock Faber, Quinn Hughes, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Filip Gustavsson to make plenty of big saves. The Wild should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice.
Over/Under Pick For Blues vs Wild
- Over 6 (5 Units)
The Wild have played remarkable offense lately, and this game looks to be a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Blues should create plenty of scoring chances with Jordan Kyrou, Pavel Buchnevich, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and firing quick shots on the net. The Wild, who have scored 24 goals in the last five games, should run up the score against the Blues, who have allowed 17 goals in the last four games, with Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber shred the Blues defense at the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.
Take the Over on 6 goals.
