Detroit likes to slow the tempo down with limited offensive skill, #26 in the NHL in goals scored and last on the power play. They also had to play last night, a 2-1 loss at Columbus. They've scored 20 goals the last 10 games. They face a dominant Minnesota defense that is second in the NHL in goals allowed and #11 in penalty killing. The Wild is off a 2-1 victory over Tampa Bay and is 18-5-8 UNDER the total against the Atlantic Division. The UNDER has gone 5-0-3 when these teams meet in this building, and this shapes up as another game with few shots and fewer goals. Play this one UNDER the total.
