Minnesota is in a difficult situational spot, the second of a back-to-back on the road. They come off a win at Anaheim last night and this is their third straight road game. Minnesota is 18th in goals scored, while the defense is 19th in goals given up (3.13 per game) and 25th in save percentage (.899). Minnesota is 12-22 ATS on the road off a road victory. Los Angeles also played last night, blasting Chicago 6-2, so this is their second straight home contest. The Kings are third in goals given up (2.57 per game) and fifth in save percentage (.913). Los Angeles won at Minnesota, 7-3, when they last met and the home team holds all the cards in the rematch. Play Los Angeles.
