Minnesota lost a tough one in overtime after Zach Parise had tied the score with just 22.7 seconds left in regulation before Joel Edmundson scored the game-winner. Jake Allen had a career-high 51 saves for the Blues while Devan Dubnyk had 24 saves for the Wild, which had won its final four regular season games. Dubnyk is 40-19-5 with a 2.25 goals-against average and .923 save percentage this season and has allowed 10 goals his last four games. The Wild has won four of its last five when playing with one day of rest and it is 27-12 its last 39 Western Conference games. The teams have split the last four meetings, however, the Blues have not scored more than two goals in any of them. Don't expect Allen to save 50-plus shots again as Minnesota evens the series. Take the Wild.
