If the Wild were curious what it was like to play them on the road, the Canucks showed them. Led by strong goaltending, a reputable defense and timely scoring — sound familiar? — Vancouver is also one of the NHL’s most ungracious visitors and remained a handful on Tuesday night to almost spoil the Wild’s homestand finale.

Kirill Kaprizov scored with 23.4 seconds left in overtime and the Minnesota Wild rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 for their sixth victory in eight games.

The end of a marathon six-game road trip comes to an end Tuesday for the Vancouver Canucks. If they want to end it with a fifth win, they’ll need to knock off the NHL’s best team, the Minnesota Wild. With Vancouver taking on the top defensive team in hockey, my Canucks vs. Wild prediction is leaning on a low-scoring affair at Xcel Energy Centre.
