Top NHL picks December 14: Bet on the Wild to score plenty vs. Red Wings

There are only three NHL games on Wednesday's schedule. Bet on the Wild to score plenty vs. the Red Wings.

Minnesota Wild take on Detroit Red Wings on December 14. Ottawa Senators take the Montreal Canadiens.

Minnesota's offence has been very good recently. The Wild have scored four-plus goals in four of their last six home games. Detroit's defence is unravelling. Ville Husso is expected to start in goal for the Red Wings. He has a .933 save percentage. He's also had a -11.1 goals saved above expected this season.

The Wild are betting on their offense to score a lot against the Red Wings. The Wild haven't found much stability in net with Marc-Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson.

The Senators have won back-to-back games and four of their last six. The Senators own a better high-danger chances percentage and team save percentage than the Habs over the last two weeks. Sam Montembeault will start for the Canadiens.
