Minnesota at Toronto

Minnesota is getting it together, playing much better after a 1-4 start to the campaign. They are strong defensively behind veteran goalie Devan Dubnyk, #16 in goals allowed and #10 in penalty killing. The Wild are 9-4 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, plus 14-5 versus the Atlantic Division. They are a dog to a young Toronto team that is stumbling, losing six of nine. Three of those losses the team was favored. The Maple Leafs are soft on defense at #29 in goals allowed, and 7-17 when their opponent allows five or more goals in their previous game. And Minnesota has owned this series, winning seven in a row against Toronto. Play Minnesota.
