Preview
The Minnesota Wild continue on the road and will visit the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday night. This is the first time these teams face off this season.
MINNESOTA WILD
The Wild have won their last 2 games and are 17-13-2 on the road with a 34-19-3 record overall ranking third in the Central division. They're 9-8 on the road against opponents in the Eastern conference.
Kirill Kaprizov leads the team with 29 goals, 72 points and 43 assists.
In their last 10 games the Wild are 4-6, averaging 3.7 goals, five assists, 4.1 penalties and 10 penalty minutes while allowing 4.4 goals per game with a .930 save percentage.

The Blue Jackets have lost their last 4 games and are 15-15 at home. Columbus a 28-27-3 record overall ranking 5th in the Metropolitan division. In their last game they lost against the Islanders 6-0.

In their last 10 games the Blue Jackets are 4-6, averaging 3.4 goals, 7.2 assists, 2.9 penalties and 5.8 penalty minutes while allowing 3.8 goals per game with an .901 save percentage.
BETTING TRENDS
Minnesota are 4-8 SU in their last 12 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Minnesota's last 5 games.
Columbus are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Columbus' last 5 games.
Prediction
These teams are playing no defense at all, Minnesota is giving up 4.4 goals per game in their last 10 games and Columbus 3.8 gpg. The Blue Jackets got blanked in their last game so I expect they can get 3 goals at least in this game and the Wild will help to push this total to go over.
PICK: Over 6 (-110)
