Minnesota has won six of eight meetings although the Wild lost the only one this season 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 21. The Wild will try to avenge that loss as well as end a four-game losing streak after they were defeated 4-1 by Tampa Bay on Thursday. Columbus hasn't been doing much better as it has lost six of nine although the Blue Jackets did get a 3-2 shootout victory over Philadelphia two nights ago. Minnesota goalie Marc-Andre Fleury still is one win back of Patrick Roy for second place on the NHL wins list and he is probable tonight. Elvis Merzlikins is likely in net for Columbus with a 7-8-6 record and a 3.24 goals-against average. The Blue Jackets have lost 36 of their past 51 games and Minnesota has won 42 of 60 as a favorite. Take the Wild as a Max Play.
