Minnesota has won the last four meetings, including the only one this season by a 4-1 score in December. The Wild has struggled with defensive breakdowns the last two games against Winnipeg and Florida, but they still have the edge in net, and Cam Talbot has a 2.91 goals-against average after allowing four of the six goals in the Wild's 6-2 loss to Florida on Friday. Ageless Edmonton goalie Mike Smith has a 3.31 GAA and a .904 save percentage. The Oilers still haven't lost under their new coach, but they are 1-6 in their last seven games versus teams with at least .600 winning percentages, and Minnesota has won 11 of its last 15 games. The OVER is 14-2 when the Wild play with one day of rest, and Edmonton is 16-5 OVER after allowing two or fewer goals in its previous game. Take the Wild for a Max Play and also go with the OVER.
