Minnesota has won two in a row and is on a 7-2-1 run. They have excellent balance at #13 in goals scored, #12 in goals allowed and second in the NHL in killing penalties. The Wild have been on a tear for more than six weeks thanks to goalie Devan Dubnyk. Minnesota is 15-3-2 over its last 20 games - the best record in the NHL since Jan. 15. Dubnyk has started all 20 games, posting a 1.64 GAA and five shutouts in that time, and made 33 saves to beat Colorado on Saturday 3-1. Ottawa is getting respect, riding a five-game win streak, but this team is .500 on the road and overall ranks #17 in goals allowed, and #22 on the power play. This is the fourth consecutive road game for Ottawa as they're on a tough five-game trip. Take Minnesota.
