Minnesota is 11-5 in their last 16 road games and 2-5 in their last 7 games overall while the under is 5-2 in their last 7 games as a favorite. Anaheim is 2-5 in their last 7 home games and 2-5 in their last 7 games as an underdog while the under is 11-3-1 in their last 15 games overall. Minnesota is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in Anaheim.

So we have a Minnesota team that plays low-scoring, physical hockey to being with, against an Anaheim team that struggles to score the puck and we’re still sitting at a total of 5.5? Give me the under here. At most, this game has 3-2 written all over it if we even get that far, so I’ll side with the under and expect a low-scoring game in this one.
