Minnesota Wild

The current regular season is challenging for Minnesota. Over the past few years, we've gotten used to the Wild making it to the playoffs without much trouble, but now there are big problems with this task. Since the beginning of the season, they started to lose many points, so Dean Evason retired. He was replaced by John Hines, under whose leadership the results went uphill. In the last four games, they lost only to Tampa Bay - 3:7, beating the Islanders - 5:0, Florida - 6:4, and the day before Carolina - 5:2. That's still only good enough for 13th place in the Western Conference standings.

Washington Capitals

Already last season, the Capitals flew past the cup battles, after which they didn't make any sudden moves to strengthen the roster, as all the key players were already on big contracts. Still, their advanced age doesn't allow them to perform at a consistently high level. All this leads to frequent failures. They are now trying to fight for points in almost every match. They have had four wins and three losses in their previous seven battles, which puts them tenth in the Eastern Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota and Washington are currently outside the playoff zone of their conferences, but they are starting to improve lately, and therefore, the whole fight for cup spots is still ahead of them. We're in for an extremely tense and intriguing matchup, but the home team should have a better chance of success. They confidently beat Carolina and Florida - very serious opponents in the last two games. Now, they are facing another representative of the Eastern Conference, which should be even easier to beat.

Sometimes, it all leads to big problems on defense, but now they at least have a good offense. In the previous seven games, the Wild have totaled 54 shots on goal (7.71 average per game). In addition, in the last four head-to-head meetings, they have scored 16 goals against the Capitals (4.00 per game average).
