Edmonton has been alternating wins and losses its last eight games, which means its due for a win in this matchup as Cam Talbot is probable to play following an upper body injury and Wild starting goalie Devan Dubnyk is out with an injury. Talbot had won his last three starts near the end of November and he has a 3.00 goals-against average and .903 save percentage. Alex Stalock will be in net for Minnesota and he is 5-3-1 backing up Dubnyk. The Oilers have won four of their last five road games and four of five after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. The road team has won nine of the last 11 meetings and the Wild has gone UNDER four of its last five home contests. Also, Minnesota has stayed UNDER six of its last seven against teams with losing records. There is value with the Oilers and also the UNDER.
