The current betting odds have the Wild listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Wild have looked great in their games this season with their 12-3-4 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West. They have been a good road team too with their 7-3-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Canadiens have looked great in their games this season with their 11-3-3 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the East. They have looked good on home ice too with their 5-2-2 home record this season. The Canadiens have been rolling in their games lately, now 8-0-2 in their last 10 games, and they are coming off a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs in their last one. They were one of the best teams in their division last season and look like they are going to once again be a big threat this year. The Wild have also been rolling in their games though and they were also one of the best teams in the NHL last season. They are right at the top of their division again and they are 6-1-3 in their last 10 games. They are coming off a 4-3 OT loss to the Lightning in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back in this one. The Wild have been a great road team this year and they also have one of the best defenses in the NHL. Their offense has picked up a lot lately too, scoring more goals in their games now. The Canadiens do have a really good offense too, but their defense has had some issues and they have been giving up a ton of goals lately. That bad defense is going to be a key factor in this game as the Wild are still the more talented team here and looking to bounce back, so look for the Wild to edge this one out on the road. The best way to place a bet here is on the Wild to win this game.
