ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Pavel Buchnevich scored late in the third period and the St. Louis Blues snapped a 10-game road losing streak by beating the Minnesota Wild 3-1 on Sunday.

Logan Mailloux and Alexey Toropchenko also scored for St. Louis, and Joel Hofer stopped 22 shots.

Kirill Kaprizov scored to tie Marian Gaborik for the most goals in Wild franchise history with 218. Filip Gustavsson made 21 saves, but Minnesota lost its second straight after six straight wins. The Wild lost 5-2 Friday in Utah.

It was the first time in 42 games this season that Minnesota lost when allowing three or fewer goals in regulation.

With the game tied at 1, Buchnevich scored with 3:39 remaining. He took a backhand pass from Jimmy Snuggerud and beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from near the right dot, extending his scoring streak to five games.

Buchnevich, who scored the Blues’ lone goal in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to New Jersey, is tied with Jordan Kyrou and Jake Neighbours for the team lead with 14 goals.

Toropchenko added an empty-net goal.

In Minnesota’s first home game after the Olympic break, Kaprizov broke a scoreless tie late in the second period, tipping in a pass from Matt Boldy for a power-play goal. His sixth goal in seven games was his 34th goal of the season and 218th in a Wild sweater. He has played in 122 fewer games than Gaborik.

Mailloux tied it when he beat Gustavsson with a wrist shot from the top of the right less than two minutes later for his first goal in 25 games.

Robert Thomas had an assist on the goal in his first action since Jan. 10. The top-line center and team’s second-leading scorer missed 13 games with a lower-body injury and a minor leg procedure. Robby Fabbri was placed on waivers.

Minnesota left wing Marcus Foligno missed the game with a lower-body injury. Coach John Hynes said before the game if Foligno is day to day or could be sidelined long term.

Blues: At Seattle on Wednesday.

Wild: Host Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

NHL Predictions: Expert Picks on Monday, March 9

March 9, 2026 1:09 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: In tonight's matchup between the New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers, the odds have shifted slightly, with the Rangers at +115 and the Flyers at -140, indicating a lean towards the Flyers. Given the recent trend of high-scoring games between these teams—four of the last five encounters exceeding seven goals—betting on the Over 5.5 at -110 appears to be a strong play. Both teams have demonstrated a propensity for overtime, with three of their last five games going past regulation, making the Regulation Draw at +295 worth considering. Player props also present intriguing opportunities; Trevor Zegras has scored three goals in four games against Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin, while Mika Zibanejad has netted four goals in three matchups against the Flyers this season, making him a solid candidate for an anytime goal at +165. Additionally, defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov, who has scored in three consecutive games, offers value with an anytime goal at +700 and an Over ½ assist at +250. The combination of recent scoring trends, favorable matchups, and the potential for overtime makes this game ripe for strategic betting, particularly on the Over and select player props.

DraftKings Releases 2026 NFL Season Win Totals: What You Need To Know

February 18, 2026 8:05 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: The release of the 2026 NFL season win totals by DraftKings has sparked early interest among bettors, with notable odds movements and expert sentiment providing actionable insights. Teams like the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills are set at 10.5 wins, reflecting a strong belief in their continued competitiveness, while the Arizona Cardinals' low total of 4.5 indicates significant rebuilding ahead. The Atlanta Falcons' over/under of 6.5, with heavy juice on the over (-140), suggests expert confidence in their potential improvement, possibly influenced by anticipated roster changes. Conversely, the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers, both at 10.5, have varying odds that reflect differing expectations; the Patriots' over is priced at +125, hinting at skepticism about their ability to contend. Contextually, the upcoming NFL Draft and free agency will heavily influence these totals, making it crucial for bettors to monitor roster developments closely. Betting on win totals now could yield value if one can accurately predict team trajectories, especially as financial maneuvers and player acquisitions unfold. The current lines serve as a barometer of team strength, and savvy bettors should leverage this early information while considering the volatility of the offseason.

2026 World Baseball Classic Betting Odds, Preview, and Prediction

March 4, 2026 8:08 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: As the 2026 World Baseball Classic approaches, betting insights reveal significant trends and odds movements that could influence wagering strategies. The United States leads the odds at -110, reflecting strong expert sentiment following their runner-up finish in 2023, while Japan and the Dominican Republic follow closely at +350 and +400, respectively. Notably, the U.S. benefits from a roster filled with Major League talent and home-field advantage in key matches. Puerto Rico, with a solid lineup and coaching staff, is favored at -125 in Pool A, suggesting they could be a valuable wager given their familiarity with the venue and competitive roster. Conversely, teams like Cuba and Colombia, listed at +700 and +550, respectively, may struggle due to less MLB experience, making them less appealing for bets. Additionally, the tournament's role as an Olympic qualifier adds pressure, particularly for teams like Venezuela and Mexico, which could influence performance and outcomes. As the tournament unfolds from March 5-17, bettors should closely monitor player health, particularly for key figures like Edwin Diaz, whose previous injury could impact Puerto Rico's chances. Overall, focusing on teams with strong MLB representation and favorable matchups will be crucial for making informed wagers in this high-stakes international competition.

NBA Predictions Today: Best Bets and Player Props for Monday, March 9

March 9, 2026 1:06 pm · vsin.com
AI Expert Analysis: For Monday's NBA slate, the Nuggets +7.5 against the Thunder presents a compelling betting opportunity, especially given Denver's recent performance and the current injury situation for both teams. Jamal Murray's questionable status is a concern, but the Nuggets benefit from two days of rest and the return of Aaron Gordon, which should enhance their defensive capabilities. The absence of Isaiah Hartenstein for the Thunder could allow Nikola Jokic to dominate inside, making the spread seem undervalued. Meanwhile, the Clippers +2.5 against the Knicks is also intriguing, particularly as Jalen Brunson may be fatigued after heavy minutes in a recent loss. The Clippers' defense, bolstered by Kris Dunn, could effectively limit Brunson's impact, while Kawhi Leonard's current form suggests he can lead the team to victory. Additionally, Darius Garland's expected contributions could tip the scales in favor of Los Angeles. In player props, VJ Edgecombe's over 18.5 points against the Cavaliers is worth considering, especially with Tyrese Maxey sidelined for the 76ers, creating a significant opportunity for Edgecombe to step up offensively. Overall, these insights reflect favorable conditions for the Nuggets and Clippers, while highlighting potential player performance trends that could influence the outcomes.
