Sprinkle's read:MIN moneyline★★★★

The side

Minnesota is the side: 4-1 over their last five and outscoring opponents.

The decider

The nets are about even — Wallstedt and Greaves are both stopping about nine of ten — so goaltending is not the edge here.

The context

These two have been playing different games: Columbus's games are quiet, Minnesota's are ordinary. This bet is really a question of which pattern holds.

Situational

Columbus is on the second night of a back-to-back; Minnesota is on the second night of a back-to-back — a reason for caution.
