Play: Minnesota +118
Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
TV: NBCSN
Reasoning: The Wild are 26-17-1-1 on the road and 17-5 in their last 22 away from home. They are 30-13 in their last 43 overall. They have lost consecutive games only twice (both in shootouts) since goaltender Devan Dubnyk was acquired in mid-January. They fell behind Chicago 3-0 in Game 1 only to tie it in the second period in a span of eight minutes and nine seconds. The Blackhawks have allowed three goals in one period an astonishing five times this postseason. They are 1-for-14 on power plays in their last six games and have killed just 8-of-13 penalties in their last four. Minnesota, which has a much better penalty-killing unit, has killed 10-of-12 in its last seven contests and has converted three of its seven man-advantages in its last four. The Wild also have played the tougher schedule.
Record: 354-263-12 (57.4%)
Bankroll: +375.41%
