The Wild just aren't giving up goals lately, and at 8-2 in their last 10 games, they usually score just enough to win. They are a top three defense for the season, but certainly tops in the league in the medium term, allowing just 9 measly goals in 8 games. Both goalies have been stand-outs.
What is up with the Jets? They have won just once in 7 games, giving up some ugly numbers; 24 goals in just 6 games. This is supposed to be a top 10 defense, but you would never believe it lately. Star goal-tender Hellebuyck is not holding them in many games with a goals-against % of just .854 in his last 5 starts.
Minnesota won both meetings this year, allowing just 2 goals while scoring 10. This includes a 4-1 victory in Winnipeg. Look for continued dominance by the Wild on Wednesday. Take the Underdog Wild to win.
