Rogers' FREE PLAY
(NHL) Washington vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: 112.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
1* Free Play Wild.

The Minnesota Wild are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to Dallas, making it six straight losses. They host Washington tonight, and the Capitals own the NHL's best record, The Caps are 12 points clear of second place Florida in the East, so they really don't have a lot to play for here on the road versus a Western Conference opponent. I like the home dog to get the upset here.

1. Previous History - These teams have split the previous 10 head to head meetings, but the Wild have won four of five at home during that span. In fact Washington has lost seven of it's last eight at Minnesota.

2. Special Teams - Washington is slumping on the power play, going 1-for-20 in it's last six games. The Wild have scored on the man-advantage in each of their last four games.

3. X-Factor - The home team is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.

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