Calgary at Minnesota

Calgary winds up a four game road trip at Minnesota riding a three-game skid. There's nothing wrong with their offense as they’ve scored 14 goals the last six games. The Flames get up for division games at 8-3 in their last 11 against the Northwest. They also play best against teams that slow the pace down with offensive difficulties, and that's the case here against a Minnesota team that is No. 27 in goals scored and No. 22 on the power play. Minnesota was favored at home in their previous game, but lost to Edmonton 5-2. They had won four of the previous five games by just one goal, so this is not a team that is routing people. In addition, there's been no home ice edge as the underdog is 4-1 in the last five meetings and the road team is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Play on Calgary. I also see a high-scoring game. The OVER is 3-1-1 in the Wild's last five games when playing on one day of rest. They are also 3-1-3 OVER the total in their last seven contests overall and 3-1-3 OVER in the Wild's last seven vs. the Western Conference. For Calgary, the OVER is 11-5 in the Flames' last 16 against the Northwest. Play on Calgary and take OVER the total.
