The Wild have been a steady bet lately, winning 8 of 9, including a pair against the Blackhawks in back to back outings just 10 days ago. They are rested but not completely healthy, and can make up a little ground on the Predators tonight. The Blackhawks are just 1-7 of late, and are now missing their captain to concussion. 'Hawks' goaltender Fleurie was awful against the Wild last time out and has had very mixed success lately. Talbot has been sharp since his return. The Blackhawks are playing like a team headed for breakup at the trade deadline, and likely won't muster up much in the way of motivation heading into the break., The Wild have historically struggled in Chicago, but that was then, and this is now. Take the Wild to win.
