Devils vs Wild Prediction

The Wild have had some success on the road this season, but their offense has been in a hole for much of their last four games. The Wild are averaging 1.75 goals in their last four games, and that’s just not going to get it done. The Devils have caught fire with five straight wins, and they’re rolling at both ends of the ice. The Devils have won four straight games against the Wild. I’m not stepping in front of the Devils in their current form. Give me the red-hot home team.
