Minnesota is over achieving. I am not saying they are a bad team because obviously they are not. Take a look at the overall total of goals. They are +9 against opponents. They have won a lot of games this year by single goals. There is most definitely value is fading them on the PL. This is also to be said about Dallas. Dallas leading their division with a goal differential of -3. This has a lot to do with Leightonen being out. If you want to compare, look at Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, the legit elitist in the NHL. Their differential is much greater...

Boston +34
Detroit +19
Pittsburgh +19
Rangers +18


Look for great value this year with a team like Florida or Edmonton. Fading Philly, Vancouver, can be profitable as well. We're starting to get to that point where the cream rises to the top. Be careful and bet smart.
