New Jersey at Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild won just three times in their first nine games, and appeared destined for a long season. They have really turned things around, winning 12 of their last 16 contests. After an opening night win where they scored 4 goals vs. Columbus they fell apart offensively scoring 2 or fewer in 12 of their next 15 games. They have finally put consistency behind the offense which has gone from the above futility to scoring 2 or more in eight of their last nine. They should have success on the offensive end tonight vs. a New Jersey team that has allowed 48 goals in their last 16 games at 3 per contest. New Jersey has also been offensive on the road, scoring 3 or more in seven of their last nine on the highway. The last five meetings between these clubs in Minnesota have also resulted in an offensive display with four of five topping the total. Play the OVER in this one.
