Arizona at Minnesota

Phoenix has been shut out by Minnesota the last two times theses teams met, but we expect them to score tonight. This is a perfect let-down game for the Wild. They are cruising having won six straight. Meanwhile, lowly Phoenix has lost eight of their last nine. Minnesota won't be up for this game and could get caught snoozing. But, Phoenix is scoring right now. They have averaged 3.4 goals per game over their last five games. If they can manage 3-4 goals and Minnesota brings their "b" game, Phoenix could escape with the victory here. Phoenix this year is 11-7 after losing four of their last five games. Minnesota is off a taxing road upset win over a division rival. Look for them to take a breather and get caught here.
