Home VenueGrand Casino ArenaHome adjustment: +1.7 rating points

Minnesota Wild gets the nod thanks to Colorado Avalanche’s margin advantage, with Colorado Avalanche’s recent run providing the second tip. Goalie SV% over the last five starts is the variable my margin number can't fully price.

Rafty’s call: ✗ WRONG
Pre-game pick: Colorado Avalanche at 94%. Actual: Minnesota Wild by 4.

Inputs: expected win rate from points-for vs. points-allowed, scoring margin, recent form, and home venue, adjusted by league volatility. Refreshes whenever game pages republish.
