Wild vs Blues Prediction

The Wild were 3-1 against the Blues last season, winning both games in Saint Louis by 4-2 and 4-1. Their last three meetings have gone over the total. 

In this Wild vs Blues Prediction, the Blues are coming as -125 home favorites. Both teams were on the top half of the league defensively last season, and the Wild were a bottom-8 team offensively. Three of their last four meetings in Minnesota had less than 5.5 goals, and both goalies are solid, as they had a combined 5.39 GAA last season. I expect a low-scoring affair today, so take the under 5.5 goals.
