Expert NHL Analysis

Injuries can affect the overall outcome and we use this information as well as the latest form guide. The same applies to the team, player and goalie stats so that we can get the best understanding of how things might pan out.

Key Sharks vs Wild stats:

  • The +1.5 line hasn’t been covered by Sharks in 4 of their last 5 games.
  • The +1.5 line hasn’t been covered by Sharks in 7 of their last 10 games.
  • The +1.5 line hasn’t been covered by Sharks in 4 consecutive games on the road.

Minnesota Wild look too strong for their opponents and we think they can win by two or more in this NHL clash. The -132 is value for them to surpass a -1.5 goal handicap on the spread.
