*8* SPECIAL on Minnesota Wild.

The Winnipeg Jets are off a three-game homestand and will play their next six following this game in front of their home-town crowd as well. I'm not sure how much emphasis they'll put on this road game, and I like the Wild in this match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Jets Schedule - Winnipeg has had a tough schedule lately and coming straight off a 5-4 OT win against the Predators last night. They have lost five of their last six both when playing on a back-to-back and when playing their fourth game in six days. The Wild on the other hand are playing on their ideal rest winning seven of their last eight after having two days off.

2. Revenge - The Wild have already revenged one loss against the Jets this season but lost the last meeting 3-1 at home. I expect them to revenge that loss as well as they're 10-5 overall when revenging a loss vs. an opponent this season.

3. X-Factor - The Jets are only 8-14 on the road this season and the Wild are 6-2 in their last eight when hosting a road winning % of less than .400.

Selection: This is a play on the Minnesota Wild (8*)
