The Minnesota Wild will be without Troy Grosenick, while Marcus Foligno is questionable.

Stars vs Wild Prediction

The Stars are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home where they’re 26-7-2 on the season. The Stars have also won eight of the last 10 games against the Wild. However, this line is incredibly disrespectful toward a good Wild team that’s won 22 games on the road. The Wild are riding a three-game winning streak where they’ve outscored teams 11-2.

The Stars could also be dealing with tired legs after playing four straight overtime games. That’s a lot of hockey played over the last week. We’re getting almost two times our money with a Wild squad that’s had great road success and is a top-12 team in the league. I’ll gladly take the Wild at this price.
