I like Minnesota at home in this bounce back spot.

The Wild are 10-1-3 in their last 14 home games, but didn't play well in a 5-2 home loss to the Capitals this past Thursday. Goalie Devan Dubnyk may have had his worst game of the season. He was called out by coach Bruce Boudreau after the game. Dubnyk is a solid goalie. I expect a much stronger performance from him here. The Wild have a history of playing much better following a blowout loss going 7-1 the past eight times after losing by at least three goals.

The Ducks had lost three in a row before nipping the free-falling Blackhawks, 3-2, on Thursday. This is a very early start for Anaheim.

Minnesota defeated the Ducks earlier this season in Anaheim. Now the Wild are in a good spot to repeat that victory at home.
