Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild Prediction

Give me the Wild here. I really trust the Wild goaltending and even against a good offense, they were quite impressive. The Wild are giving up only 2.5 goals per game and they are going to step up here. The Wild are also going to get another strong game from the offense and it’s going to be Minnesota that is going to end up coming out on top. Back the Wild on the puck line to cash here.
