The Minnesota Wild are an excellent team, and you don’t get them at prices like this often, so I could see why you’d consider them here. However, the Colorado Avalanche have been kind to us all season, and you usually don’t fade your moneymakers. The Avalanche are just way too consistent to bet against, and they’re an absolute buzz saw at home. Give me the Avs and the PL for max betting value.
