The set-up: The 12-8-4 Minnesota Wild will take on the 10-9-5 Toronto Maple Leafs, who have played well at home this season, going 8-3-0. The Wild conclude a five-game trip with this visit to Air Canada Centre, having gone 1-1-2 during the first four games.

Minnesota: Wild captain Mikko Koivu scored 3:11 into overtime in Sunday's 2-1 win over Edmonton to cap a memorable game in which he won 21 of 23 draws in the faceoff circle. The Wild have held their own in road games, going 5-5-4. When the trip ends after this contest, Minnesota will have played five more games on the road than at home. The key for the Wild is the goaltender of Devan Dubnyk, who leads the NHL with a save percentage of .945, in shutouts with four and is second in goals-against average at 1.63. "He has given us a chance every night," Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau said. "He's been spectacular."

Toronto: The Maple Leafs are pleased with their starting goaltender, Frederik Andersen (10-6-4, 2.86 GAA and .913 save percentage, who played for Boudreau with the Anaheim Ducks. However, are searching for a reliable backup. Toronto Maple Leafs return home from a three-game road trip for this game and as noted above, have been a strong home team this season, which Wild coach Boudreau is well aware of. "I've watched their home games, and when they're on, you'd better be ready to play," Boudreau said Tuesday. "They're going to be very good, very soon. It's not going to take too long for these guys to be extremely good."

The pick: Toronto goalie Andersen had some early struggles but owns a 1.85 goals-against average and .938 save percentage in his last seven outings. Add that to Dubnyk's league-best .945 save percentage an a 10* play on the Under makes sense.
