The set-up: The Wild won Game 1 by shutting down the Canucks, but Vancouver bounced back in Game 2 by pushing the pace from the outset and the result was a 4-3 victory. So which way will Game 3 go? A defensive affair like Game 1, or a more wide open contest like Game 2? In my opinion, it will definitely be more like Game 2. Vancouver looked sluggish in its first game back, but it got its "game legs" underneath it and all signs point to this young team pushing the pace from the opening face-off, until the final horn blares.

The pick: It's interesting to note as well that Vancouver has seen the total go over the number in eight of its last 11 after scoring four or more goals in a victory. As mentioned off the top, this one has wide open "shootout" written all over it.

This is a 10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the OVER Canucks/Wild.
