Minnesota are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Minnesota's last 11 games.

The Rangers are playing great defense allowing just 1.8 in their last 10 games and have won 7 of those 10 games. The Wild have struggled lately losing 8 of their last 10 games and allowing 4.9 goals per game. The Rangers get here in better form and I like the fact they'll be looking for revenge. I'm taking the Rangers.
