Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Kirill Kaprizov / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -120 / 70% / Kaprizov averages 3.8 shots per game with high usage on top line, facing Canucks’ weakened defense missing Hughes and Forbort.
Player Prop #2: Filip Gustavsson / Over Saves / 27.5 at -110 / 65% / Wild goalie projects 28+ saves based on Canucks’ shot volume (31.2 per game) and Wild’s defensive structure limiting high-danger chances.
Player Prop #3: Brock Boeser / Under Points / 0.5 at +105 / 60% / Boeser held to under 0.5 points in 60% of road games against Central Division teams, with Wild’s penalty kill ranking top-10 stifling power-play opportunities.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans slightly toward the Canucks as underdogs amid the Wild’s five-game losing streak, but money distribution and line movement toward Minnesota signal sharp alignment with the favorite. This divergence supports fading the public where EV exists on the Wild side, as simulations confirm their edge in xGF/xGA and home performance. Overall game outlook points to a low-scoring affair, with injuries to key scorers on both sides (Zuccarello, Garland out) and strong goaltending matchups favoring the under based on recent defensive efficiencies.
