ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Minnesota Wild Puck Line (-1.5 goals) over Detroit Red Wings, Wednesday at 7:05 PM ET - Plus money is in the +115 range on this one as of early morning Wednesday.  The Wild are in a great spot for a home rout here.  Detroit is in 2nd game of a B2B and had top goalie Husso in goal last night.  The Red Wings lost key player Dylan Larkin to injury in last night's game versus Carolina also.  That is a key blow to a team that was already struggling to score goals.  Though it is uncertain how much time Larkin will miss it has been announced already that he will not play in tonight's game.  This is a revenge game for the Wild as they lost to the Red Wings earlier this season and we expect Minnesota will take full advantage of the situation.  Detroit has lost 3 straight games and has scored an average of only 1 goal per game in this 3-game losing streak.  The Wild have won 8 of 11 games and have scored an average of 3.7 goals per game during this stretch.  This one shapes up to be a complete mismatch which is, of course, the reason the Wild are 2 to 1 favorites on the money line.  The value comes into play here by laying the 1.5 goals on the puck line and getting a plus money return as a result.  Home team in a blowout per our computer math model.  Laying the 1.5 goals with home favorite Minnesota is the value play here.
