Canucks: 5 predictions for play-in series vs. the Wild

It’s been 17 years since the Vancouver Canucks last met the Minnesota Wild in the playoffs, but thanks to the acceptance of a 24-team NHL playoff format, the two teams will clash once again.

Here are five predictions for the highly-touted contest.
