Minnesota at Nashville

Minnesota still has a shot at catching Dallas for second place in the Central Division after winning four of its past five games. The Wild have won five of seven meetings with Nashville and 10 of 15 April games dating back to last season. The Predators come off a 4-1 loss to Utah on Thursday, and their top defenseman, Roman Josi, was out due to an upper-body injury and is now listed as day-to-day. Jesper Wallstedt is the likely starter for Minnesota, and he is 17-8-6 with a 2.65 goals-against average and four shutouts this season. He has won his past three starts while stopping 76 of 81 shots. The OVER is 12-5 in the past 17 meetings, and the last five at Nashville have gone OVER. Minnesota has gone OVER five of its past six games, and 15 of its past 20 road games have gone OVER. Take the Wild and the OVER.
