Chicago at Minnesota

You need defense to contend on the road and Chicago is loaded, third in the NHL in goals scored and tops in penalty killing. They held San Jose to two goals on the road in their last game, but lost 2-0 as part of a 10-4-3 run UNDER the total on the road. Chicago is well rested and the UNDER is 5-1-2 when the Blackhawks are playing on two days of rest. Last place Minnesota is just #16 in goals scored, #26 on the power play and 5-1 UNDER the total against the Western Conference. Minnesota is off a victory and note they are 11-5-1 UNDER the total after a win, and this shapes up as a defensive battle. Take this one to finish UNDER the total.
