Minnesota at Dallas

Both these teams are going to be playoff-bound and may meet again in the postseason. The Wild are already in playoff form as they are 10-3 over their last 13 games. The NHL scoring has been crazy high, but despite that, the Wild has defended as well as any team down the stretch, allowing two or fewer goals in nine of their last 13 games. They are 9-0 in those games. Dallas was trending in a similar direction but has been pedestrian in their last six, logging a 3-3 mark. They may struggle against the stout Wild defense, as the Stars have scored one goal or less in three of their last six. The Wild have the edge here as a slight road favorite. Make the play on Minnesota.
