NHL ice hockey - Sun 23/10

[Tulenos]

YTD 8-5-0, 6.39 pts, +35.50% Minnesota Wild (ML) to bt CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS @ 2.15 - 2 pts *B365* A rare occasion as B365 are offering a bit better odds than Pinnacle (albeit by 0.03). Well, been scratching my head over this almost the whole afternoon as I can't see why the Wild should be underdogs in this game. They are 5-3 this season and are coming off a three-game winning streak, while the Hawks are 2-5 this season and are coming off a two-game losing streak. Moreover, the Hawks are playing their first home game after a four-game road trip (1-3), which is never an easy situation as such a team tends to play with a defensive away tactisc rather than like @ home. And their bodies are usually tired after long travels at that. LAst but not least, the H2H record favours the Wild as well - they are 5-3 ATS @ Chicago since 1996 and 4-3-1 straight up over the very same period of time (1-1 L3 seasons). Chicago are supposed to start Khabibulin (my bogey goalie) between the pipes, but he is a shade of his former self this season and Minnesota's Roloson can boast more than twice as good rating as poor Nikolay (3-3 - 1.5). We'll. I make it a double play anyway .
