Minnesota at Chicago

Minnesota will bring its winning team to Chicago, where Chicago has struggled and stands well below .500 on the season. This sometimes sets up a winning situation on the home team and we have found one tonight. yes, Chicago has struggled, but when they have been home vs a ML of +140 or less they have gone 6-8, with 5 of the 8 losses by a single goal. That means they have been 11-3 to the puck line. Minnesota has been instilled as a -140 or less ML favorite on the road just 6 times, and stands just 3-3, but has managed just a 1-5 mark against the puck line. So we have an 11-3 puck line winner in Chicago, facing off vs a 1-5 puck line loser in Minnesota, or a combined 16-4 situation that requires laying just 2.44 to 1. These situations have produced a 4 to 1 win ratio on the season, so laying just 2.44 to 1 makes this a strong play on the Hawks to cover the puck line.
