St. Louis at Minnesota

Minnesota is 17-4 at home this year and netminder Cam Talbot is having a solid season with a 17-6-3 record, 2.33 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. The Wild has won seven in a row and are well rested with three days off since a 6-3 win over San Jose. They catch St. Louis in a letdown situation after back-to-back wins over the Avalanche, and the Blues have lost their past five road games. This is a double-revenge spot for Minnesota, which lost the last two meetings, including a 9-1 embarrassment on April 9 before losing in overtime the following night. The Wild have outscored opponents 32-14 during the winning streak and they are 18-6 following a win. Despite the two wins vs. Colorado, the Blues still have lost 15 of their past 22 games overall. Play the Wild.
