Minnesota still has a shot at catching Dallas for second place in the Central Division after winning four of its past five games. The Wild have won five of seven meetings with Nashville and 10 of 15 April games dating back to last season. The Predators come off a 4-1 loss to Utah on Thursday, and their top defenseman, Roman Josi, was out due to an upper-body injury and is now listed as day-to-day. Jesper Wallstedt is the likely starter for Minnesota, and he is 17-8-6 with a 2.65 goals-against average and four shutouts this season. He has won his past three starts while stopping 76 of 81 shots. The OVER is 12-5 in the past 17 meetings, and the last five at Nashville have gone OVER. Minnesota has gone OVER five of its past six games, and 15 of its past 20 road games have gone OVER. Take the Wild and the OVER.

Pro Picks
Nashville at Minnesota
Minnesota finally snapped a five-game slide with a convincing 5-2 victory over Vancouver on Saturday. Marco Rossi scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, and Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and two assists to back Filip Gustavsson, who had 26 saves for the Wild. Nashville ended a three-game skid with a 4-2 win over Calgary, but then the Predators lost again, 5-4 in overtime to Vancouver last night. The Predators are 1-10 in their past 11 games in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 days situation, and they are 1-6 against teams that scored at least five goals in their previous game. The Wild have won 40 of 55 home games versus opponents with road winning percentages of less than .400. Nashville is 5-15 in its past 20 against the Western Conference, going 2-8 versus the Central Division. Justus Annunen is probable for the Predators. He is 0-2-0 with a 4.07 goals-against average. Take the Wild.
