St. Louis at Minnesota

Minnesota wrestled home ice away from the Blues by splitting in St. Louis and now heads home for two games. The Blues are 1-5 in their last six Conference Quarterfinals games. It won't be easy against a Minnesota team that is #12 in goals scored, #6 in goals allowed with the #1 penalty killing unit in the game. The Wild is on a 27-11 run, plus 20-8 against the Western Conference. They have red-hot goalie Devan Dubnyk, who stopped 23 of 26 shots in game two, dropping his save percentage to .909 in five starts this season against the Blues. Only one of those meetings took place in Minnesota -- a 6-3 Wild victory on March 21st. Look for Minnesota to bounce back with the kind of physical game that St. Louis just threw at them in game two, so the home team holds all the cards again. Play Minnesota.
