Wild/Canucks Under 5 (-110)

This is going to be a low scoring contest as both of these teams are winning games through defense and excellent goaltending play by Backstrom of the Wild and Luongo of the Canucks. In fact, Luongo actually has a 195 minute shutout streak right now against the Wild at Rogers Arena. The two teams combined have only played in games with over 5 total goals 5 times this season out of 22.

Because of the likelihood of a low score, I also like the Wild +1.5 (-170) bet. Even if the Wild do not win, you can expect a 1-0, 2-1, or a 3-2 affair, making this a winning bet.

With $109.09 of my virtual dollars I will only be betting $10 on my initial selection with a potential payout of $9.09.
