anyone have thoughts on that?
No way I could bring myself to bet on Minnesota or the Under.
Edmonton's PP has been insanely good and Minn are only killing off 75%.
Neither team is above league ave. in Corsi For % or High Danger Scoring Chances For %, but Edmonton is slightly better than Minn in both, and the most concerning stat: Minnesota are tied for league worst with Pittsburgh at 4.7 xGA (expected goals against) per game (while only generating 2.8 xGF).
I lean the other way, EDM and Over, and there's probably no reason EDM will deviate from their plan of overusing their stars if needed.
