Edmonton at Minnesota

Edmonton has dropped four of five and is without captain Connor McDavid for the next two weeks. The offense is 22nd in goals scored and 24th in shooting percentage, while the defense is 27th in goals surrendered (4.00 per game). The Oilers have yet to score in the third period this season and are 19-22-9 without McDavid in the lineup. Meanwhile, Minnesota is Top 10 in scoring and shooting percentage and plays its third consecutive home game. The Wild is 63-25 after playing a home game, including 35-14 after playing two straight home contests, so back home ice. Take Minnesota as a Max Play.
