This is a tough spot for Minnesota, losing three in a row including last night at home, 1-0 to Winnipeg as -200 chalk. They offense has been in a huge slump, tallying three total goals the last three contests. The Wild are 2-6 when playing on no days rest. They've lost three in a row to New Jersey, Buffalo and Winnipeg, none of which is above 11th place in its respective conference. The anemic power play is 0 for 18 over the last nine games and 1 of 26 in the past 14. The Nashville Predators are home from a long trip and have something to build on, scoring three times in the final 11 minutes of the third period to force overtime in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss at Winnipeg. Goalie Pekka Rinne owns a 2.10 GAA at Bridgestone Arena and the Predators are 27-13 at home when following a road trip of seven or more days. Play Nashville.
