This is an 8* SITUATIONAL BEATDOWN on the Minnesota Wild.

I think this is a prime spot for Minnesota to avenge an earlier 4-1 loss to Montreal as I expect the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. This is in fact a triple revenge spot for the Wild. Montreal snapped a three-game slide to beat Colorado 4-3 on Monday, but I think it will run into a buzzsaw today vs. a Minnesota team looking to break out of a listless 2-2-1 stretch after a season-best four-game win skein. The home side will also be extra motivated here after it lost a frustrating 3-2 shootout to St. Louis on Saturday, holding a one-goal lead going into the thrid frame. A closer look at the scheduling though sees that the Wild can be forgiven for the late setback, they were playing their third game in four nights; suffice it to say, I think a little home cooking is just what the doctor ordered for Minnesota. Simply a tough spot for Montreal, in my opinion, this is the very definition of great line value; play on MINNESOTA.
