Wild vs Rangers Predictions and Picks
Minnesota is 24th in scoring, 26th in goals against, first on the power play, and 25th on the penalty kill. Matt Boldy leads the team in goals and assists. The Wild have struggled to score on even strength, with most of their goals this season coming on the power play. The Minnesota defense is trending up, but on offense, they have only scored four goals in the last three games. During this skid, the goals came in the second period or late in the third. Getting the offense going early can build confidence and ease the even strength tension.
New York is 30th in scoring, third in goals against, tied for 21st on the power play, and ninth on the penalty kill. Adam Fox leads the team in goals and points. The Rangers have yet to score a goal at home this season. They have been shutout three times already and should definitely be able to finally light the lamp against a struggling Wild team. New York is one of the best defensive teams in the league, but the offense is somehow nonexistent at home. Establishing the defense, scoring in bunches or late in games, is the road formula that will try to be transferred to Madison Square Garden.
Best Bet: Rangers Money line
The over under is a little lower than usual because the Wild are struggling to score in general and the Rangers haven't scored at home yet. New York is great on defense, while Minnesota will look to do their damage on the power play. The Wild are on top four of a five-game road trip and close to getting a win. However, the Rangers will be really focused on finally lighting the lamp for their fans this season and getting some offensive struggles out.
