Minnesota is in danger of falling to the eighth slot in the West playoff queue, and blame can be put on the offense...or, more specifically, injuries to offensive stalwarts. Kirill Kaprizov was the leading scorer when he went down in late January, and hasn't played since, while Joel Eriksson Ek hasn't featured since just after the 4 Nations. Across the past twelve games, Minnesota has only scored 24 goals. Goalie Filip Gustavsson, however, has done an admirable job, along with fellow 'keeper Marc-Andre Fleury, with a 1.99 GAA and .930 saves in twelve starts during a very busy March for him. Play Wild-Devils Under

Let's hit the rewind button to Saturday; Minnesota closed a -120 favorite against the Devils who entered that game on the 2nd of a back to back. New Jersey played on their front foot the night after being shut out by Winnipeg and Minnesota couldn't match. Tonight the venue changes and the Wild find themselves in a much more comfortable road underdog role with an edge in net. New Jersey plays their 4th game in 6 days before a 5 day break creates a good situational edge for the Wild. I see value here on the Wild anything +117 or better so I'm happy to back the road dog.
