Shane’s Free Pick
The Wild’s defense has been lights out all season and they are going to lockdown the Penguins' offense that scored only one goal in the last game. The Wild’s offense at times has been a bit inconsistent and I don’t see them running up the score here. This game is going to only have four or five goals and the under is going to cash.
