Hockey Picks - October 29, 2008

We passed on last night's NHL action, but we are 5-2 hitting 71% over the last three days. Today we have one premium NHL pick.

Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Minnesota at Dallas (8:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Game Total OVER 5 -138 (risk 2 to win 1.5)

The Minnesota Wild head south to take on the Dallas Stars in NHL action. The Wild are off to an impressive 6-0-1 start and remain flawless on the road. A lot of the success can be attributed to an offense that has scored 3.3 goals per game in their first seven outings. The Stars have not enjoyed the same success in the win column, but they certainly have on the offensive end as they too enter this contest scoring over 3 goals a game through their first nine and have been 6-2-1 to the over in those nine games. The Wild have played 4-2-1 to the over in their first seven for a combined 10-4-2 to the over. Add to the fact that the Stars are 10-4-4 to the over in their last 18 on three or more days rest and I'll grab the over in this contest.
