PREDICTION SCREEN

RAW likes Minnesota Wild +1.5.

WHY RAW LIKES IT

  • Expected Wallstedt start and stronger early goaltending.
  • Minnesota's special-teams advantage.
  • Intact top-end Wild offense.
  • Minnesota has the stronger pregame goals-against rate.

BIGGEST CONCERN

Minnesota's missing Faber, Spurgeon, and Maatta.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG

  • Edmonton's McDavid–Draisaitl top-line concentration against that depleted defense.
  • Edmonton's high-scoring start.
  • Edmonton's rest, home-ice, and last-change advantages.

BOTTOM LINE

Expected Wallstedt start and stronger early goaltending. The concern: Minnesota's missing Faber, Spurgeon, and Maatta.
