Stars vs Wild Game 3 goal scorer pick
Matt Boldy (+155)
Boldy was electric this season for the Wild, scoring 42 goals. He started this series off with a bang in Game 1, scoring twice and registering eight SOG. While Game 2 was quiet, the chances were still there, putting five pucks on net.
The 25-year-old has scored in two straight home games, and he’s found the back of the net six times across his last eight contests. It’s rare that he stays quiet like in Game 2, and he is undoubtedly going to feed off the home energy. One of Minnesota’s top players will do his part in taking Game 3.
