OC Dooley:“2 UNIT” NHL LATE NIGHT UNDERDOG (Wild +180 at Kings in a 10:35 eastern faceoff): This is a unique REVENGE wager as these two teams met way back on opening night in Minnesota where Los Angeles escaped with a triumph decided by a ONE goal margin. Late this evening is the rematch out west where the Wild are attempting to WIN for the fourth time in the last five visits to Los Angeles. Even though Minnesota is 2-0 ever since putting an end to a lengthy six-game losing streak, admittedly the deck appears stacked against the Wild who just lost points-leader Mikko Koivu (broken ankle) to injury. On the flipside the Kings finally have back star goaltender Jonathan Quick from a groin injury that caused him to miss 24 different starts. But my research indicates that in the past three years when off a “margin” home victory where the team triumphed by “two plus” goals in margin, Minnesota has gone an excellent 12-3 in the ensuing contest
