Minnesota at Washington

The Minnesota Wild come in as a slight road favorite, catching the Capitals off a big comeback road win. The Wild have allowed one goal or fewer in five of their last 11 and are coming in off a pair of wins allowing just one tally in each game. Washington tends to be an offensive-dependent team in a lot of games, and the Caps have allowed at least three scores in each of their last three games (11 goals-against overall). Minnesota is defending very well in recent play, and that works against Washington. Make the play on Minnesota.
