This is a 10* TOP PUCKLINE PLAY on the Wild.

I had a play on the Wild on the PUCKLINE in their last game against the Canucks. They won 3-2, unable to put in the empty-netter for the big cashout.

I don't think we're going to have to worry about an empty-netter this evening though, as I expect Minnesota to not only win this game, but to do so by a significant and comfortable margin.

Minnesota is 5-1, while the Kracken are 2-4-1, coming off a very satisfying 5-1 home win over Montreal on Tuesday.

Minnesota goaltender Cam Talbot is 5-0-0 with a 2.55 GAA this season. Seattle has been a below average scoring team and middle of the pack on defense, as Philipp Grubauer is 2-3-1 with a 3.29 GAA.

The Wild are also 7-1 in their last eight as a road favorite.

Minnesota averages 3.33 GPG, while Seattle averages 2.57.

The Wild are now 0-6 on the puckline this year, but I expect that lop-sided trend to get broken in a big way here.

Lay the 1.5 goals on MINNESOTA on Thursday night.

Good luck, NP
