Best Bet

For this NHL clash, we are going to bet against the road team with our pick. One way of doing this is by siding with Wild and we really like the -120 about them winning on the Moneyline.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction:

• Wild have won 8 of their last 10 games at home.
• Wild have won 4 of their last 5 games at home.
• Wild have won the last 3 games between these teams.

We use the latest team news and injury updates to help shape the best possible hockey picks. You’ll also notice we take a stats-led approach by factoring in the key NHL numbers that truly make a difference.

Wild Moneyline Probability

The best sportsbooks make it a 54.6% chance that our pick is settled as a winner. However, our analysts have this figure closer to 60% based on their in-depth research. This is why we regard this as a value wager.

As an option, you could consider the Puck Line where you can back Minnesota to cover the spread. That means you need a specific margin of victory to yield a return.
