Dallas at Minnesota

Can't trust this young Dallas team on the road with all their holes on defense. The Stars rank #19 in the league in goals allowed this season, then with a chance to put the series away the last game, they lose at home, 5-4. Dallas coach Lindy Ruff is trying to decide who should be in goal after allowing 12 goals the last three games. Minnesota is home and are 10-4 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. The experienced Wild have advanced past the first round each of the last two years and have come back to at least tie three of their last four series despite losing either one or both of the first two games. With the home team 36-16 in the last 52 meetings, the wagering value is for the home team to win the game or lose by one goal. Play Minnesota on the puckline.
