<p>Believe it or not a couple weeks ago Minnesota was the closest possible team for the Flames to catch for a playoff spot &#8211; now that team is the Jets because the Wild have been on an extended run of wins (7-1-2 in their last 10). They aren&#8217;t a particularly offensive group, although Kirill Kaprizov has shown game-breaking ability. Minnesota is also trying to integrate Johansson, Sundqvist, Nyquist, and Klingberg into the lineup getting them from the deadline – Nyquist once he&#8217;s healthy. Bottom line to this one is  expect strong defensive efforts from both sides &#8211; the team with the strongest goaltending will probably win.</p>
<h2><strong>Primary Bet &#8211; Filip Gustavsson and Jacob Markstrom both to get 26+ saves (+200)</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://betway.com/en/sports/grp/ice-hockey/north-america/nhl">A $1 bet pays out $3</a>. See this doesn&#8217;t have anything to do with goals allowed, while both teams are strong defensively betting on saves seems the smartest thing to do. Odds-wise mixed with number of saves this came out best value &#8211; more than likely because it&#8217;s two things needing to occur rather than a single event. I like this one so much I upgraded it to primary bet from tertiary. These are only possible if starting netminders are named well in advance of gametime &#8211; something the NHL should do regularly.</p>
<h2><strong>Secondary Bet &#8211; Total shots on goal 60.5 OVER (-118)</strong></h2>
<p>A $1 bet pays out $1.85. I mean if both goaltenders are going to make 26 saves a piece then that leaves us needing an extra 8 shots to get a hit here. If power plays become a factor in this game both teams will benefit. At least on this one they could be over 60.5 with one goalie at 25 saves and you&#8217;d still get money back.</p>
<h2><strong>Tertiary Bet &#8211; Highest scoring period THIRD (+200)</strong></h2>
<p>A $1 bet pays out $3. I&#8217;ve never picked this before but with how both teams match up i feel the emphasis for puck pressure will come in a close game in the third. Now that&#8217;s how the script of what should happen reads &#8211; but even if either team blows their lead that&#8217;s most likely to happen in the third. Risky business, but that&#8217;s why its the 3rd bet instead of the first.</p>

Believe it or not a couple weeks ago Minnesota was the closest possible team for the Flames to catch for a playoff spot - now that team is the Jets because the Wild have been on an extended run of wins (7-1-2 in their last 10). They aren't a particularly offensive group, although Kirill Kaprizov has shown game-breaking ability. Minnesota is also trying to integrate Johansson, Sundqvist, Nyquist, and Klingberg into the lineup getting them from the deadline – Nyquist once he's healthy. Bottom line to this one is  expect strong defensive efforts from both sides - the team with the strongest goaltending will probably win.
