My selection is on the 'under' between Colorado and Minnesota at 9 pm et on Saturday.

While the Avalanche are known for their offensive prowess and that's certainly been on full display in the first two games of this series, they actually enter Saturday's Game 3 in Minnesota riding a season-high four-game 'over' streak. In fact, they've posted four straight 'under' results only once previously this season. Meanwhile, the Wild's own current four-game 'over' streak is their longest since the beginning of March. A scene shift can often serve as a catalyst for change and I think that will be the case as far as the total goes in this series. Take the under (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection: Colorado Avalanche/Minnesota Wild (UNDER).

Colorado has taken a 2-0 series lead with sheer goal scoring. We anticipate Minnesota to make some adjustments defensively for Game Three.

The Avalanche have still seen 10 of their L14 games played against opponents from within the Western Conference stay UNDER.

The UNDER is also 15-26-2 for the Avs in each and every single one of their road games this year.

Minnesota does like the high scoring type of game. But, it's going to have to change it's mentality because shootouts are not working in it's favor.

The Wild have seen nine of their 16 home games against opponents within the Central Division stay UNDER this season.

The play is on the UNDER.
