Chicago at Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild broke out of a five year drought without recording a playoffs win, as they won Game Three and now trail Chicago two games to one. Chicago has been lethal in this spot, as during the regular season they failed to record a win in consecutive games just four times, so I expect their resolve to be intensified for Game Four tonight. Minnesota not only recorded their first playoffs win in five years, but the last three times they have recorded a win in the playoffs, each game required overtime, and their margin for error remains razor thin. The Blackhawks are 38-13 in their last 51, and 7-1 in their last eight after scoring 2 or less in their previous game. The Wild has struggled vs. the elite as they are just 1-7 in their last eight against a team over .600. Game four goes to Chicago.
