The Wild has had trouble keeping the puck out of the net on the defensive end of late as they have now allowed 27 goals in their last eight games, or 3.4 per game. The Stars have faced a similar problem as they have allowed 26 over their last eight, or 3.25 a game. That adds up to almost seven goals allowed between these teams per game over the last few weeks. The total sits at the lowest point you usually see in an NHL regular season at five, so I see a lot of wiggle room in this one towards the OVER. When you toss in the fact that the last seven meetings between these two teams in Dallas have played accordingly, six of the seven going over, there is only one way to go here and that's OVER the total.
