Big Hockey Play for Wednesday Night

[chrismooney]

To put it plain and simple, when Edmonton and Minnesota meet, goals are scored. 6 of the 7 meetings between these two clubs this year has gone over the posted total, and with the current form of both teams there is no reason to suggest this will change.

It is no secret that we have made a ton of profits from betting on the over when the Oilers hit the road. Sitting at a mark of of 24-10 in favor of the over, Edmonton puts it into a special gear when playing away from Rexall Place. Three of Edmonton's last four games on the road have gone over the total, and coach Craig Mactavish knows that in order to try and sneak into the playoffs, he has to let his young players skate up and down the ice and put pressure on the Minnesota defense.

Minnesota will not be opposed to going toe to toe with a fast skating Edmonton team. Although the Wild are known for their tight defensive play, in front of the home town fans with a division title on the line, we can expect high energy and a quick pace, that will push this one over the total.
