Minnesota comes into this matchup on a five game winning streak and they have allowed two goals or fewer in four of those five wins. The Wild are 5-4-1 on the road this year, while the Blackhawks are 5-4-2 at home. Chicago has lost three games in a row, but they did play very strong defense against Colorado last time out. I have found success backing Chicago this season, but I can’t fade Minnesota right now. Take the Wild to get the win on the road.
