4-3. Minnesota Wild. JH. player. 98. Full disclosure, I’m a Wild fan and I need something to believe in. If I was a betting man, my money would be on Dallas sweeping this series away from the Wild. Minnesota backed hard into the playoffs and have special teams issues that will be brutal. But don’t sleep on the absence of Tyler Seguin and Lindy Ruff’s sometimes mind numbingly frustrating ability to screw up his goalie totatiosn.  . MIN wins
