#57/58 ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 6.5 Goals - Edmonton Oilers at Minnesota Wild, Tuesday at 8:05 PM ET – The set-up here is ideal to expect plenty of goals. The Wild have allowed an average of 4 goals per game the last 3 games but are off a huge 6-3 win over the Kings. In two meetings between Minnesota and Edmonton this season the Wild have scored 11 goals! However, the Oilers outshot Minny by a combined margin of 72 to 48 in those two contests. Edmonton, after losing both those games to the Wild on home ice, are out for revenge here as they look to return the favor at Minnesota. However, the Oilers are going to have to score plenty to do that. The Wild are simply a tough match-up for them in their defensive zone and Minnesota comes into this game rolling with confidence thanks to a run of 10 wins in the last 13 games. Minny's last two home games have each totaled at least 7 goals and they enter this game on an overall run of 3 straight games totaling 7 or more goals. The Oilers are off a rare low-scoring 2-1 loss in the shootout versus Colorado. That ended a 6-game winning streak for Edmonton in which the Oilers scored an average of 4 goals per game. Connor McDavid and company will be back tonight with a special performance but they just will not be able to stop the Wild. Edmonton's 13 games before the loss to the Avalanche featured 10 Oilers wins and those 13 games averaged a total of 7.3 goals! As you can see per all of the above, plenty of reasons to expect solid goal-scoring from both clubs in this one! Take the OVER here
