Shane’s Free Pick
The Wild are coming off a terrible loss and I don’t expect they are going to be a whole lot better in this game. The Wild’s offense is going to struggle to score against a good Vegas defense and that will be the difference here as Vegas is going to get the job done. Back Vegas on the money line. I am also throwing a few dollars on Vegas -1.5 to cash.
