Minnesota at Nashville

Marian Gaborik is coming on strong. He's tallied 11 points in his last ten games including a 5-goal performance vs. the Rangers last month. He's already scored 21 goals and recorded 39 pints. Minnesota has had success here, winnign seven of the last ten games vs. the Predators including three of the last five here in Nashville. We like the Wild's offense here to overpower Nashville's. Rookie Dan Ellis has done well in the crease but in this game he will have his hands full. The Wild have scored 5+ four times in their last ten games and are averaging 3.6 goals per game over that span. Look for Minnesota to take this one.
