Power Players Club NHL 1-3 Units (12/27/24)

NHL (1 Pick)

1) 8:00PM EST: (2 Units) MIN/DAL Under 5.5 -110.

The Stars and Wild are two great defensive teams with great young goalies. On the year the Stars are ranked 4th in goals allowed per game and the Wild are ranked 6th. The Stars' goalie Jake Oettinger has a 2.42 GAA and .910 SV% while the Wild's Filip Gustavsson has a 2.28 GAA and .921 SV%. On the other side of the ice, these teams haven't found the same success. The Stars are better averaging the 11th most goals per game and sitting at the 26th-ranked powerplay, while the Wild score the 20th most goals per game and have the 24th-ranked powerplay. Each team will also be missing key offensive players. Tonight the Wild will be without star LW Kirill Kaprizov, who just picked up an injury, having already been without C Joel Eriksson Ek. As for the Stars C Tyler Seguin will miss his 11th game. Given these teams' defensive prowess and good goaltending combined with key players missing, expect a low-scoring game.
