NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Canadiens vs. Wild (Tuesday)
We’re bringing in the new month with a stacked 12-game slate in the NHL tonight! The action gets underway with a trio of games at 7:00 p.m. ET and wraps up out west at 10:30 p.m. with a Pacific Division clash between the Ducks and Sharks. I’ve listed my top three wagers on the ice tonight. And let’s take a closer look at Canadiens vs. Wild.

NHL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Canadiens vs. Wild
The Wild got off to a rough start this year, losing their first three games and surrendering 20 goals over that timeframe. Minnesota has bounced back, going 4-2-0 over their last six games, and they’re allowing just 2.50 goals per game over that span. The Canadiens are riding a two-game win streak with victories over the Sabres and Blues, most recently.
Tonight’s goaltending matchup should be Jake Allen vs. Marc-Andre Fleury. Allen’s 3-3-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .909 SV%, while Fleury comes into this one at 4-1-1 with a 3.69 GAA and .880 SV%. However, Fleury is 3-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA over his last three games. I think the veteran netminder is starting to find his groove, and I’ll back him tonight against a mediocre Canadiens squad. Montreal’s offense hasn’t been great this season, as they’re averaging 3.0 goals per game (24th) and scoring on just 11.11% of their power play opportunities (27th). I think Minnesota should be able to stretch out their lead at home and cover the puck line.
Bet: Minnesota Wild -1.5 (-105 via Caesars)
