Command Analysis

Winnipeg remains unbeaten in the new season. The team performed well during the preseason, focusing more on counterattacking hockey while paying less attention to defensive efforts. With the start of the official matches, Scott Arniel's squad has returned to its previous style, demonstrating exceptional discipline in their defensive zone.
The Jets initially dominated against Edmonton, winning 6-0, followed by a home victory over Chicago, 2-1 in overtime. Connor Hellebuyck shone in both games, stopping over 50 shots in total. Additionally, the Jets have been effective on the power play, successfully converting chances, indicating a strong start to their championship campaign.

Minnesota Wild
USACurrent Form
The Minnesota Wild have shown potential this season to make a strong playoff push right from the start. However, they have already dropped some points. In their opening game, they managed a narrow win against Columbus (3-2), but faced defeat in their next matchup against Seattle, losing 4-5 in a shootout. The team, led by John Hynes, took the lead three times and held a comfortable advantage, yet failed to secure the extra points.
On the bright side, Kirill Kaprizov is in excellent form, contributing four points through goals and assists early on. Despite this, it's evident that Minnesota struggles defensively, which could lead to significant challenges. This defensive issue plagued the Wild last season as well, resulting in their absence from the playoff picture.
Injuries and Disqualifications
Chisholm will not participate in the game due to injury.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Statistically, Minnesota allowed an average of 3.21 goals per game last season.
The Wild's defensive play has been lacking, particularly against teams with strong offensive lines.
- On average, Minnesota registers 16 hits per game.
The Wild do not play a physical style of hockey and focus more on their offensive strategy.

2.22Tip and bets
We believe that Winnipeg is rightfully the favorite in this matchup. The Jets have a stronger defense and allow few goals, which has posed significant challenges for Minnesota in their previous encounters. Moreover, the Wild have struggled against less formidable opponents in their recent games, so we don't anticipate them performing well on the road against an aerial attack that has been on the rise since the beginning of the season.
Prediction - Winnipeg victory at 2.00
Bet on Individual Total
Minnesota has a strong offense, consistently finding the back of the net. However, Winnipeg has allowed fewer than three goals in four out of their last five meetings. Additionally, Hellebuyck has been outstanding, recently making over 50 combined saves in just a couple of games. It's likely that Minnesota will struggle to score three goals in this matchup.
We recommend betting on Minnesota's individual total being under 2.5 goals at 1.85
Bet on Total Goals
Winnipeg tends to play a defensive style, steering clear of high-scoring games. Minnesota also adopts a cautious approach against the Jets, focusing on disciplined defensive play. As a result, encounters between these teams rarely yield a high score. Therefore, we anticipate no more than five goals in this matchup.
Let's place a wager on the total being under 5.5 goals with odds of 2.00
