Command Analysis

Minnesota Wild

Current Form
The Minnesota Wild have played three preseason games with three more scheduled ahead. Previously, they fell to Dallas 2-5 but secured impressive victories against Winnipeg 5-2 and 8-5. In their last encounter with the Jets, stars like Kaprizov, Zuccarello, Hartman, and Eriksson Ek stepped up. Although Marc-André Fleury had a rough outing, conceding five goals on 41 shots, the Wild's offense was impressive. It’s likely that under John Hynes, the team will continue to play with a similarly aggressive style.

The Dallas team is determined to win, having dominated past matches. Following their game against Winnipeg, Minnesota is unlikely to field their strongest lineup and may rest key players. The Stars, on the other hand, are expected to play close to their optimal roster. Additionally, these teams have already met in the preseason, where the Stars secured a 5-2 victory. Dallas consistently poses a challenge for Minnesota, making it reasonable to bet on their victory once again.
