Thursday night we look to back the Minn Wild in NHL action. Shots against is a good way to tell how good a defense is and there is a distinct difference here as Pittsburgh is 26th in the NHL with 34.3 shots allowed per game while Minnesota is tied for 11th in the sport with 30.8 shot attempts per game. The Wild have lost 2 in a row at home and normally a very good team on their home ice. The favorite has won in 10 of their last 12 games in this series so go with the Minnesota Wild to notch a win here at home on their ice.
