The Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche meet Wednesday in NHL action at the Ball Arena. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Minnesota Wild are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 21.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Kirill Kaprizov leads Minnesota with 39 goals, Mats Zuccarello has 43 assists and Joel Eriksson Ek has 236 shots on goal. Defensively, the Minnesota Wild are allowing 2.6 goals per game and are killing 80.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Marc-Andre Fleury has given up 116 goals on 1,274 shots faced, and Filip Gustavsson has allowed 67 goals on 990 shots.

The Colorado Avalanche are averaging 3.2 goals per game and are scoring on 25.6 percent of their power play opportunities. Mikko Rantanen leads Colorado with 48 goals, Nathan MacKinnon has 63 assists and Cale Makar has 172 shots on goal. Defensively, the Colorado Avalanche are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 79.2 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Alexandar Georgiev has allowed 136 goals on 1,672 shots faced, and Pavel Francouz has given up 38 goals on 470 shots.

The Wild are 6-2 in their last 8 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The Avalanche are 79-31 in their last 110 home games and 148-70 in their last 218 overall. The over is 7-2-1 in Wild last 10 overall. The under is 5-2 in Avalanche last 7 home games. The Wild are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Colorado and 3-7 in the last 10 meetings. The favorite is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. The home team is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.

The Minnesota Wild have done some of their best recent work on the road, but they haven’t had much success against the Avs and this is a price we don’t often get with Colorado, especially at home. It’s hard to bet against the Avalanche in this spot with the reasonable price. Give me the Avs on their home ice.
