In their previous 5 games versus the Central division, the over is 4-0-1. The under is 8-1-2 in Minnesota’s past 11 games played with two days’ rest, and they are 0-6 in their last 6 overall games as well as 0-4 in their previous 4 games after suffering a defeat of three goals or more. The Wild is a superior defensive club than what we’ve seen, but it’s tough to support them and believe that things will change on their own unless the goalie improves.
