NHL Thursday Top Ticket - Monster 18-3 NHL Streak!
(NHL) Minnesota vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -115.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Win
The price is lower than it should be based in large part on the Penguins scoring a huge 2-1 road win against the Capitals on Wednesday in a very physical, tight game, while Minnesota was idle.

But I choose to lay this low price with the Penguins in the belief they are not going to just give back that hard-earned victory against the defending Stanley Cup champions by losing at home to the Wild, who are not in good form.

Minnesota has scored one goal during its past two games, home losses to the Flames and Sharks. The Wild are 1-4 during their past five away matchups. All of those losses were by multiple goals. The lone road win during this span occurred versus the Canucks.

Pittsburgh has won four of its past five times hosting the Wild, too.
