Nashville at Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild are becoming a desperate team. They are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, so this becomes almost a must win for them as the margin for error has diminished greatly. Nashville is close to clinching a playoff spot, but they have limped down the stretch of the season as they have a losing overall record in their last 11 games and have dropped two straight games that saw the offense tally a total of one goal. They also have given up seven in the two games on the other end. Minnesota has home ice and a sense of urgency. Go with Minnesota in this one.
