Buffalo at Minnesota

Minnesota, despite a losing record, are 7-5 at home. Minny's defense is stout, allowing the fewest goals in the Western Conference. Over their last five games, they've allowed just 2.2 goals per game. They've allowed opponents 8.3% SOG and 9.6% on power plays on the season. While their offense struggles mightily on the road, at home they are scoring 3.7 per game and outscoring opponents by 1.2 goals per game. Buffalo is surging but their defense is below average. Minnesota finds a way tonight. One star on the Wild.
