New York at Minnesota

It looks like an easy one tonight for Minnesota as they have put together a season that is 11 wins better than the New York islanders, and the Islanders have been a poor road team. Not so fast! New York may only have three road wins all season, but they have all come in their last five road games where they have gone 3-2. The Wild was on a roll, winning seven straight, but have lost that edge losing each of their last two. They certainly have not been effective in their last 10 games vs. the East at 2-8. Overall this one looks good for Minnesota, but if you look at recent play the true value lies with the visitor in this one. Make the play on the NY islanders.
