Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild

With no goals in back-to-back games, Draisailt will be hungry to hit the back of the net, thankfully, for him (and bettors like us), he's scored in each of his last four games against the Wild. 

With all of Minnesota's injuries, they've been bleeding chances holding the sixth-highest 5on5 expected goals per 60 at 2.74. With Drai scoring 15 5on5 goals on a measly 7.24 individual expected goals, all he needs is half a chance to score. He'll get more than 'half a chance' tonight in Minni and should score.

Bouchard has put on his shooting gloves recently going well over three shots on goal in three of his last four games with 19 shots, an average of 4.75 per game. "The Butcher" takes those shooting gloves to Minni who ranks fourth in the NHL for shots conceded to defensemen at 9.11 per game. I'm expecting an above-average game from him with the Oilers likely hemming the severely depleted Minnesota squad into their zone most of the game with the puck continuously flying at the Wild net from the blueline. 

Minnesota will get a few shots toward Edmonton's net in the 60-minute preceding, and I expect Marco Rossi to be amongst the few Wild players to see enough of the puck to hit his shot prop tonight.

Rossi has two or more shots in five of the six games played in Kaprizov's absence, averaging 2.2 shots per game, and per Outlier, Rossi has also exceeded 1.5 shots on goal in six of his last seven home games.
