NHL Picks: Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers
This is a juicy line. It’s probably a trap. The Minnesota Wild have been stumbling, so the gap here is not as large as it might have seemed a month ago. The Oilers finished the first half strong.
That said, this is still a team with a lot of holes. While the Edmonton Oilers are learning, and possibly even improving, they are still that same team that crumbled through the first half of the year on lengthy losing streaks of epic proportion.
The Minnesota Wild are underachieving. This has not been the season they wanted. Goaltending issues, Parise’s family problems, and a myriad of other excuses have them well below where we thought they would be.
But it’s the Oilers…
The computer says 51/49 in a toss up that favors the Wild. I think they’re probably much more likely than that to take this one on the road. I like our odds here and it seems like a good chance to take a stab against Edmonton again.
Wild 4 – Oilers 3
