Minnesota Wild vs. St. Louis Blues Predictions

Score Prediction Wild-Blues

Minnesota needs to win two road games in St Louis and have Colorado not pick up a single point in two home games vs Los Angeles to move anywhere in the standings, so it's reasonable to assume the Wild have resigned themselves to having that No. 3 seed.

Meaning this game is a get in and get out healthy game for both sides as they conclude the year against one another these next two days. Would guess we are likely to see a split in terms of the outright winner in the two meaningless games, but a split on backing the 'under' in both games feels like the floor in terms of betting potential here.

It starts with backing the 'under' here in that belief, as hopefully guys are just interested in going through the motions to keep any rust off prior to the postseason.
