The set-up: St. Louis has won three straight, but after hammering the Avalanche 5-3 and then 4-1, followed by a 4-3 victory here two nights ago, I think the Blues will finally stumble here in this difficult venue. Previous to the setback in their last game, the Wild had won seven straight.

The pick: Minnesota averages 3.19 GPG, and it allows 2.63. St. Louis averages 2.91 GPG, while conceding 3.06. With less than a dozen games to go until the end of the season, and with immediate revenge as a primary motivating factor, I absolutely believe that at this price, the Minnesota Wild are worth a second look in this particular spot.

This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the Wild.
