Wild vs Maple Leafs: Odds & Prediction

Minnesota is a +145 underdog, while Toronto is a -175 favorite, with the over/under set at 5.5 goals.

The Wild are without star forward Kaprizov, who is Minnesota's best player and one of the best players in the NHL. Toronto, meanwhile, hasn't played well as of late, but this is a good spot for the Maple Leafs to get a win at home.

Minnesota will struggle to score without Kaprizov, as Woll should be able to have success en route to a big win here.
