Minnesota at Chicago

The Wild has gone winless in their last three, so how do they come to Chicago and beat a Blackhawks team that appears to be Stanley Cup caliber? It is all relative to where the value is and the Wild have not been a dog of more than +185 all season long, so the odds here have the value on their side. The Wild is actually 4-2 the last four times they have been posted at over +125, and 3-1 when posted at +145 or higher. They are a team that takes on the challenge and knows they have to bear down. The results show the last six games they were posted at +150 or more, there were 5 goals or less scored in five of them, and 4 or less in four of the six. This one will be low scoring, with the Wild in the hunt, so I'll play them with the big dog odds, and also ride the UNDER here.
