Tampa Bay vs. Minnesota: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Minnesota continues its away series, which did not start in the best way. The team played away to Winnipeg, where it had every chance of success, but suffered an unfortunate defeat in overtime (1:2). They lacked a little in the realization of moments in attack, of which there were plenty. The Wilds quickly rehabilitated themselves for the lost points, defeating St. Louis with a score of 4:1. This time, the best player of the match was forward Kaprizov, who gave two assists.

The Wild were able to consolidate their success away to Columbus, where they did not allow their opponent to realize their attacking potential due to a strong defense, as well as the efforts of goalkeeper Gustavsson, who reflected 95% of the shots. It seemed that Hines' charges would have difficulties in the match with Florida, but everything happened exactly the opposite. Minnesota won its biggest victory this season with a score of 5:1. Once again, the attacking line showed, although not the most active, but very high-quality play. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions.

Disqualifications and injuries

Minnesota has problems with its roster. Two key players are in the infirmary: forward Ryan Hartman and defenseman Jared Spurgeon.

Interesting trends for betting

• The Wild are allowing an average of two goals per game.

Minnesota has been playing great defense this season and rarely allows opponents to take advantage of their offensive potential.

• The Savages average four penalty minutes per game.

It is also worth noting the club very disciplined play, which allows it to consistently remain at full strength on the ice.
