Minnesota had won five in a row before suffering two shootout losses to Nashville. They look to bounce back tonight against Tampa Bay, which is in cruise control while the Wild is battling for playoff position. The Wild won the only other meeting this season 5-4 in overtime back in October and Minnesota actually has won six of the last 10 meetings. Devan Dubnyk has a respectable 26-21-3-3 record with a 2.60 goals-against average and .911 save percentage. The Wild has won four of its last five road games and it is 35-17 its last 52 games versus Atlantic Division teams. Also, Minnesota has won nine of its last 13 after allowing at least five goals in its previous game. Minnesota has a big motivational edge in this one, so take advantage of the huge line value and play the Wild.
