Rickenbach NHL free pick Wild vs Leafs

NHL Free Pick Thursday Minnesota Wild Money Line +125 @ Toronto Maple Leafs @ 7 ET – The Wild are expected to start Kahkonen between the pipes tonight and I expect Minnesota to get a boost with the goalie switch. The regular starter, Talbot, has struggled but Kahkonen has played well overall of late. As for Toronto, they are struggling and not getting good goaltending from either Campbell or Mrazek recently. The Maple Leafs have lost 5 of 7 and have allowed 4.7 goals per game in regulation time of last 3 games. The Wild had won 12 of 15 before the loss at Ottawa in most recent game. Solid underdog value here is absolutely worth a look in this one. Free Pick MINNESOTA +125
