Staff Prediction

The Wild have been rolling winning their last four games and I think they will be able to keep this one close. The Flames are bad on the PP so the Wild can afford a slip up or two and still stay in the game. Minnesota has the better scoring and may be able to win this outright, but at the very least they keep it close and cover.

Pick: MIN +1.5
