Minnesota at New York

Minnesota has slipped on defense, allowing 16 goals the last seven games, including three or more goals four times. That's a concern as they face a NY Islanders offense ranked eighth in the NHL in goals scored. They've scored 16 goals the last four contests. The Islanders are a point off the playoff cut line. They entered the break with a 4-2 home loss to Detroit last Monday, but overall the offense has produced, going 3-1-1 in their last five. They are on a 6-4-1 run OVER the total. With both teams rested, look for more offense coming out of the break than oddsmakers expect. Play this one to finish OVER.
