Kings vs. Wild Prediction: Monday, March 17th

In a matchup tonight between two Western Conference teams that should be in the playoffs this season I see a rather boring matchup! The Wild are treading water offensively due to injuries to their biggest stars right now and it's showing with them scoring just 9 goals over the last 10 games at even strength play!

During that time period they did allow just 2 goals per game though so they’re going under often and on the season have gone under in 20 of 32 home games. On the Kings side they are dealing with similar issues with just 16 goals scored 5 on 5 over the last 10 games while scoring just 18 goals.

On the season they have gone under at a record of 19-13-3 on the road and it’s driven by top tier defense and goaltending. This one could very easily close at 5 goals as the total but right now its 5.5 with some juice but never mind that just hammer the under in this game tonight.
