NHL Winter Classic Saturday 10* Top Play OVER 6 in Minnesota Wild vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET - This game is outdoors and the conditions will be frigid. As a skater you can stay warm on the bench and also all the skating on the ice warms your body in a hurry. As for the goalies however, they are out there in the cold and not moving around as much and their situation is much different. That is just part of the situation here. The big key too is that the Wild have not played since the Christmas break which also started early due to the covid breakout. A lot of these first games for teams after the layoff have been a bit messy with extra goals scored due to some rust from the long layoff leading to good quality scoring chances. Also, St Louis is off a 4-2 win versus Edmonton in their only game since the break. The Blues have not been the Blues of old this season as they have been a much higher scoring team and a little less emphasis in the defensive zone. The Wild have allowed an average of 5 goals per game last 3 games. That was part of a stretch of 4 straight losses but all of this followed a 9-2 stretch in which Minnesota scored an average of 4.6 goals per game. St Louis has won 8 of 12 games and scored an average of 3.6 goals per game in these dozen games. 10* OVER 6 in Minnesota
