The set-up: Both teams come in hot, but Minnesota's offense has been ridiculous of late and I like it to carry that momentum over here at home. LA has been exceptional of late as well, winner of five straight. But winning on the road is tough in the NHL and the Wild have conceded two goals or less in four straight games.

The pick: Also note that LA is just 2-6 in its last eight after a five-games or longer unbeaten streak, while Minnesota is 7-2 in its last nine after scoring six or more goals in a road victory in its last outing. I'm laying the price and expecting a lop-sided outcome.

This is a 10* DESTRUCTION on the Wild.
