Wild vs. Rangers Predictions and Picks
The Wild face the Rangers in this Western vs. Eastern Conference matchup. Minnesota is 4-4-2 in its last 10 games and looking to get its scoring back on track. The Wild rank in the lower tier for special teams play but are tied for 11th in goals-against average. Offensively, they sit in the middle of the league rankings.
In their overtime loss to the Devils, the Wild trailed 1-0 until the third period, where they managed to tie the game early and again late. Minnesota outshot New Jersey 30-28 and outhit them 25-23. The Wild went 0-for-2 on the power play but were a perfect 2-for-2 on the penalty kill. While their offense has been strong in the third period, they need to set the tone earlier in games.
The Rangers are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games and have experienced both high- and low-scoring matchups. New York ranks sixth in penalty killing but sits near the bottom of the league on the power play. Like the Wild, their offense is middle-of-the-pack.
In their last game, the Rangers dominated the last-place San Jose Sharks, winning 6-1 on the road. New York scored in every period and allowed only a late, meaningless goal in the third. Despite going 0-for-2 on the power play, they didn't need it, as they outshot San Jose 33-22 and dominated faceoffs 36-17.
Best Bet: Under
Both teams are pushing to clinch a playoff spot, with the Wild even having a chance to move into third place in their division. Both squads are looking to break out of their win-loss pattern and find some consistency. Minnesota compensates for its scoring struggles with a top-five defense, while New York excels in the third period and has the edge in special teams play.
