Minnesota will be in a foul mood after being upset by lowly Arizona on Monday. Filip Gustavsson is starting tonight and he has a 11-7-1 record and 2.26 goals-against average and .922 save percentage, which are better numbers than the Wild's starting goalie, Marc-Andre Fleury. The teams have split the first two meetings this season and the Wild will be ready to avenge a 4-1 loss to the Stars on Dec. 29. Dallas had lost three straight before defeating Anaheim 3-2 in a shootout win and it was the fourth straight game the Stars have gone into overtime. Jake Oettinger has been on the losing side in three of them and he is confirmed for tonight's game. Minnesota is 7-3 its past 10 games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game and 9-4 overall playing with one day of rest. Four of the past six meetings have gone OVER and Oettinger allowed four goals on 16 shots before being pulled in the first meeting this season. Take the Wild and the OVER.
