The Minnesota Wild are playing their third game in four days. They won 3-1 against the Hurricanes last night. Cam Talbot will start for the Wild. He has a .911 save percentage and 2.83 goals against per game on the season.

Washington Capitals are in the second wild-card spot in Eastern Conference. They have won nine of their 13 games and are looking to get home-ice advantage in playoffs. The starting goaltender for the Caps tonight should be Vitek Vanecek.

Wild have been playing well lately, but they are tired and Talbot is in goal. The Capitals have also been good recently, and they need points to improve their playoff seeding. I'm going to take the over.

The final Wild-Capitals prediction and pick is over 6.5 (-106).
