THE PLAY: Total Under 5.5 (-135)

This is one of the shortest Totals of the year. 5.5 and heavily juiced to the Under at -135, suggests, we wake up Monday morning to a 5 +105 line and it makes total sense to me. First off, both hockey teams are stone cold Under teams, with the Kings at 25-37-3 to the Under and the Wild at 29-35-3 to the Under. The Wild have not scored more than 2 goals in 5 straight games, which is total anemic and frankly wild. In their last 9 games, they have scored 1 goal in 5 of them - wow - that is just terrible. They have however been playing good defense, allowing more than 3 goals once in their last 7 games and that was their last game (5), against the Blues. As for the Kings, they have allowed 0 goals in their last 2 games - yes 0 and 1 goal in their last 3. They have allowed a grand total of 7 goals in their last 5 games - how many do we actually think the Wild are going to score here. This is one of those 2-1 with an empty netter type hockey games. We are going to take the Under here even at 5 (if it goes there).
