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

I think the visitors offer very good value in this spot. The Wild will be hungry to avoid a third straight setback and a date vs. the lowly Oilers is just what the doctor ordered to get untracked in my opinion as they've won three straight in the series. Edmonton's minus-49 goal differential ranks 28th in the league, which is just what Minnesota needs as the team would lose eight of ten heading into the break. But as mentioned off the top, the Wild have had the Oilers number for quite some time, they've actually won eight of the last nine meetings North of the border. And note, I think that the visitors have the clear advantage in goal tonight, as Devan Dubnyk owns a 3-0-0 and 0.97 GAA vs. the Oilers this year as a member of the Coyotes. And note that despite it's struggles this season, Minnesota is in fact 11-6 (+2.5 units) vs. clubs with losing records, while Edmonton is a poor 5-15 (-9 units) in the same position. In my opinion, this is the very definition of "great line value," play on the WILD.
