Anytime we can get this kind of line on a team with as good a defense as Minnesota, we get value. Backstrom and Fernandez allowed a league-low 191 goals this season. Blackstron goes tonight and comes in on fire having allowed just 3 goals on 74 shots in his last four games. The Wild allowed more than two goals just once in their last 15 regular-season games! They won 12 of those games. Their offense is good enough and with that kind of defensive performance tonight, they have a shot. Anaheim was very penalty prone this year allowing 4.9 power plays per game. Minnesota was 13-5 their last 18 on the road this season vs. teams committing 4.7+ penalties per game
