NHL Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wild vs. Ducks
The Wild start a three-game road trip tonight, which requires stops in Anaheim and San Jose and finishes up in Winnipeg on the 27th. They’re riding a five-game win streak and square off against the lowly Ducks tonight at 10:00 p.m. ET.
Anaheim has played 33 games this year, and they have a -59 goal differential coming into tonight’s action. While they may not touch the record of -265 by the 1974-1975 Capitals, the Ducks have a shot at finishing the year as a bottom-five team in the goal differential category.
If Anaheim continues this pace, then fading them on the puck line should be a profitable endeavor all year. I’m locking in the Wild to win by at least two goals tonight. They’ve won five straight games, four of them by at least two goals. Minnesota’s offense is finally finding its groove, as they’re averaging 3.8 goals per game over their last 11 contests. Look for a barrage of goals tonight against an Anaheim team that ranks dead last defensively (4.0 opposing gpg).
Bet: Minnesota Wild -1.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
