Dallas is on a 3-2 run UNDER the total and has lost its top scorer, Tyler Seguin, for five weeks. They had to play last night and now head to Minnesota, and the UNDER is 4-1 in the Stars last five road games. Minnesota is a terrific defensive team, 13th in goals allowed and third in penalty killing. Minnesota plays its best defense at home, off a 4-0 win at Edmonton, and the UNDER is 6-2 in the Wild's last eight home games. Minnesota is 7-3-1 UNDER the total following a win and 6-2-2 UNDER playing on one days rest. The Minnesota Wild have the NHL's best record since the All-Star break thanks in part to spotless penalty killing. The Wild is 10-1-1 since the All-Star break. They have killed off all 30 penalties in that span as the only team not to allow a power-play goal since the break. Devan Dubnyk has started every game since the break, posting a 1.41 goals-against average with a league-high four shutouts. Minnesota is 6-1 UNDER the total against a team with a losing record, and the UNDER s 3-1-1 in the last five meetings in Minnesota. Play UNDER the total in this one.
