Take #1. Wild over Red Wings (Sunday @ 1pm est)
(NHL) Minnesota vs. Detroit,
Money Line: -110.00 Minnesota (Away)
Result: Loss
The Detroit Red Wings have played two of their best games this season since returning from Sweden. Detroit will seek its third straight victory when it hosts the Minnesota Wild on Sunday afternoon. The Red Wings followed up a 0-1-1 record in the Global Series Sweden by holding the New Jersey Devils to 16 shots on goal in a 4-0 shutout on Wednesday. Detroit added a 5-2 road win against the Boston Bruins two days later. The Red Wings have handed the Bruins their only two regulation losses this season. The Wild will aim to end their six-game losing streak (0-4-2). All but one of their past five contests has been decided by one goal. They played their first game on Friday since going 0-0-2 in Sweden. The Colorado Avalanche scored a go-ahead goal early in the third period and held on for a 3-2 victory on Friday. We think the Wild are desperate for a winhere, and we will roll withMinnesota on Sunday. The Red Wings are 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win.
