Minnesota vs. Detroit: NHL match forecast
Minnesota will face Detroit on February 26 at home. The "Savages" are in a great mood and are going to a series of three victories, however, the "wings" had previously shown pretty good results and often earned points. The clubs have met only once this season, and then the Wild proved their superiority by defeating the Red Wings in a hard-fought battle. Is it worth betting on their success again? You will learn about this from the forecast
Command Analysis
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Minnesota is currently in fifth place in the Western Conference and for a long period of time could not find its game, but recently it seemed to come to its senses and issued a series of three victories. However, her triumph did not last long, because after that she failed in two meetings, but now she is back on a winning streak of three matches. This instability has plagued the team throughout the season.
Note that the Savages had previously defeated Ottawa (0:6) and Boston (0:3) away, after which they pulled themselves together and first dealt with Carolina (2:1), and then beat the Islanders with a score of 6:3. After returning from the break, they played on the road against the same Detroit and celebrated Victory with a score of 4:3 in overtime. Let's remind that in that match the team made a great comeback and won back a serious two-goal gap at the end of the third game period.
In general, the Wild, oddly enough, perform worse on the home arena than on the road. Previously, they had managed to score only ten victories within 60 minutes when they played with the support of the home stands. As a rule, the third game period is not the best for the club, because it concedes more in it than in the other periods, and has a 65:65 ratio in terms of goals scored and missed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kirill Kaprizov will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets an average of 7.88 minutes of penalty time per game.
The "savages" are usually eliminated at least four times per game and do not have perfect discipline.
- According to statistics, Minnesota makes 28 shots on target per game.
The Wild are characterized by a rather low throwing activity this season and often act as the second number.
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit is looking a lot better this season than last year. The team has a real chance of making the playoffs and is trying to show decent results. At the moment, she is in the seventh position of the Eastern Conference and, if she really wants to, she can improve her position in the table. However, due to the high level of competition, just one defeat can throw her out of the top eight again, so you always need to keep yourself in good shape.
Let's emphasize that Krylia had shown their best before and were able to put up an incredibly long winning streak. After a difficult victory over Seattle (5-4 B), they still lost at home to Tampa (3-6), but after a disastrous match against Minnesota, they regained their composure and dealt with Anaheim at home with a score of 5:4 in overtime. By the way, in the confrontation with the Ducks, the Red Wings scored a comfortable three goals at the very beginning, but again they had a bad end to the third period, which almost caused them to lose two points.
Strangely enough, the worst thing for Derek Lalonde's team is the starting twenty minutes, in which he has a 57:61 ratio in goals scored and conceded and almost always allows the opponent to distinguish himself. Playing at other people's venues is not going well for Detroit, since up to this point the club has managed to win only eight victories within 60 minutes in 26 matches played.
Disqualifications and injuries
Petrie, Kopp, Rasmussen will not be able to participate in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Detroit gets an average of 5.93 minutes of penalty time per game.
According to statistics, Krylia are eliminated no more than three times per game and are distinguished by their cool discipline this season.
- On average, Detroit makes 27 shots on target.
In the current season, the Red Wings are characterized by low throwing activity and mostly act as the second number.
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks

1.87Bet 2nd period: the guests will score

1.52Tip and bets
We think that Detroit is capable of claiming points in this confrontation. Krylia had previously performed at their best and had been showing great results for a long period of time. Of course, Minnesota has also looked good lately, but we would not consider it the favorite for this match. In addition, in the previous meeting with the Red Wings, the savages literally miraculously escaped and snatched victory in overtime. If this time the guests play from the beginning to the very end, they will succeed.
Prediction - Detroit won't lose in 1.70
Betting on an individual total
Detroit has been very productive this season, even when playing on other people's courts. Minnesota had conceded at least three times out of five in the previous four games. By the way, even in matches against the Savages, the guests never have problems creating and implementing chances and usually score three or more goals. Based on this, it makes sense to bet on their total.
We take Detroit's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.82
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings with the participation of the guests turned out to be quite productive and, as a rule, took place with six or more goals scored. Detroit does not have a great and reliable defensive game and this season it is more focused on attack. "Minnesota," in turn, has also shown a good offensive game lately, but also missed a lot in response. We think that we will see at least six goals in the performance of the clubs.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.85
