Minnesota at Detroit

Minnesota is seeking its first win in seven games and the past three losses have been by one goal, but expect the Wild to break through in today's game against Detroit, which is playing its third game in five days and the Red Wings are in a letdown spot after beating Boston on the road on Friday. Detroit has lost five of nine and the Wild have won six of the past seven meetings and this is the first one this season. The Red Wings are 14-38 their past 52 games against Central Division opponents and they have lost their past four of five overall following a win. Take the Wild.
