Tampa Bay at Minnesota

The Lightning have been struggling on the road all season, but should get a spark from an overtime win at Florida on their way to winning both in their home and home series. The streaky Wild has put together a pair of big winning streaks of five games each, but are otherwise just 3-10. They have already have had five multiple-game losing streaks, with the current streak at two in the loss column. That has left them playing at 4-7 off a loss for the season. The Wild will also be playing in their fourth game in six days - a situation that hasn't been kind to them as they are 19-40 in their last 59 in this spot. They have been dominated by the Southeast at 2-10 in their last 12 and more specifically they are 0-7 in their last seven vs. the East. Tampa Bay is striking it big vs. the West at 8-3 in their last 11, and overall have taken the win in four of their last five as a dog. Play on Tampa Bay.
