Dallas vs. Minnesota Betting Picks
Dallas is 3-1 in its last four games against the Minnesota Wild and due for a win after dropping three consecutive games at home. They’ll come out strong tonight against the Wild, which haven’t performed great at home and are without their starting goaltender and best player.
Robertson has two goals in his last three games and appears to be heating up for the Dallas Stars, while Roope Hintz has been under the 2.5 shot total in each of his last three games, including no shots against the Predators. He was held shotless three other times this season and went over the 2.5 total in each of the subsequent games, making the over a good bet for Stars vs Wild picks and parlays.
