Montreal has lost 5 straight and the Wild are not the team you can snap a losing streak against. Minnesota will win this one easily in a game that will go over 5.5 goals. The Wild have won 19 of the last 26 games against Eastern Conference opponents and 7 of the last 10 games played after one day of rest.
