Don’t Expect a Goalfest

We don’t think the Kings and the Wild are going to score too many times. Our prediction is to grab the -133 that there are Under 5.5 goals.

7 Wins for Kings in Previous 10 H2H Clashes

Los Angeles Kings beat Nashville Predators in their previous game, making it five straight victories. It was a 1-0 (OT) home win at Crypto.com Arena. Quinton Byfield was the only player to score, with Darcy Kuemper making 24 saves.

Minnesota Wild were defeated last time, making it back-to-back losses. Xcel Energy Center saw them beaten 5-1 at home to St Louis Blues. Jacob Middleton scored the goal from just 18 Wild shots.

The Kings have beaten the Wild in the last two encounters. A 5-1 victory at Xcel Energy Center was followed by a 4-1 win at Crypto.com Arena. The past 10 clashes between these teams have seen seven the Kings wins.
