The All-Star break couldn't have come at a better time for Vegas. The Golden Knights went 1-7 in their last eight before the break, scoring just 16 total goals. They came out after the break slapping a five-spot on Nashville and you have to think they have broken out with the added mental and physical rest. The Wild has opened the second-half with a pair of losses allowing seven total goals, and their games have averaged six combined goals a game. Minnesota carries the baggage of going 17-6 to the OVER following a game where they allowed 4 goals or more over the past two seasons. OVER is the call in this one.
