Minnesota - Boston: NHL match betting tip
As part of the NHL Championship, a match between Minnesota and Boston will take place on March 2. Recently, the hosts have had poor results and lost match after match, but the Bruins have just come off a long series of setbacks. The teams met just a month ago, and then the bears proved their superiority over their opponent. Is it worth betting on the success of the guests this time? You will learn about this from our betting tip
Command Analysis
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Minnesota is on the fifth line of the Western Conference and earned a total of 72 points. The team has been one of the leaders for a long period of time, but this season it clearly lacks stability. She can beat a powerful opponent, and the next day she will lose to a clear outsider. By the way, the savages have been regularly replacing their winning streaks with a series of defeats lately.
Let's emphasize that after a tough match and Victory on the road against Detroit (4:3 OT), the Wild lost to the Red Wings on their ice (2:3), and after that they lost to Utah (1:6). Plus, the meeting with Colorado turned out to be a failure, to which they lost 2-5 and could not put up any resistance. Then the club scored only the opening game segment, but in the second twenty minutes it missed three unanswered goals and could not pull itself together further.
At the same time, in all previous matches, John Hines's squad had some difficulties creating and implementing chances and remained with the minimum number of goals scored. It is noteworthy that with the support of the home stands, Minnesota is playing worse this season than away, since up to this point it has managed to win only 10 victories during regular time. It's also worth mentioning that she has an average of at least three goals in the net, especially when she's playing on her own ice.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kaprizov, Eriksson Ek and Bogosian will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets an average of 7.87 minutes of penalty time per game.
The savages are eliminated about four times per game and are by no means the best disciplined
- Minnesota has a 65:70 ratio in scoring and conceding goals in the third period.
The Wild misses the most in the third period compared to the rest of the segments.
Boston Bruins
USACurrent form
Boston is located outside the playoff zone and is currently in ninth position in the Eastern Conference. The team is still unable to return to the top eight, from which it is currently separated by just two points. We emphasize that in recent matches she has shown rather weak results and faced a very unpleasant series of five defeats.
Before that, the Bruins had lost to Vegas (3:4), Anaheim (2:3 OT), and also played mediocre against Toronto (4:5 OT) and lost to the Islanders (1:2). Fortunately, after another disastrous match at the home arena, the bears went on the road and managed to finish off Pittsburgh with a score of 3:2, while getting off with only two missed goals. We should pay tribute to the goalkeeper, Joonas Korpisalo, who parried a total of 31 shots in that match and stayed dry until the 55th minute, but after that he conceded two goals in a row in unequal formations.
Let's emphasize that at the same time, David Pastrniak continues to give out a great game, who managed to earn 75 points on the goal+ pass system. By the way, his productive streak continues for 17 matches. If we talk about the game of Boston on the road as a whole, the club performs rather mediocre, since it has only scored eight wins within 60 minutes all the time.
Disqualifications and injuries
Frederick, McAvoy, Lindholm, Poitras and Marchand will not participate in the upcoming meeting.
Interesting betting trends
- Boston has a 53:62 ratio in scoring and missed goals in the second period.
The bears spend the second twenty minutes mediocre and often allow the opponent to excel in it.
- According to statistics, Boston gets 10.48 minutes of penalty time per match.
The team remains one of the most undisciplined in the league today.

In four out of five matches against Boston, the hosts scored goals in the third period.
1.42Tip and bets
Minnesota must come to its senses after three failures in a row and give its maximum with the support of the home stands. It will be very difficult for Boston to play without Brad Marchand, who was injured in the last match. Also, do not forget that the Bruins show poor results on the road and very rarely achieve success within regular time. In addition, the savages played their last matches on their ice at a high level and showed themselves at their best, so it makes sense to bet on their success with a handicap.
Prediction - Minnesota wins with a handicap (0) in 1.69
Betting on an individual total
Boston has not been the best performer lately and has had a lot of problems playing offensively. After Brad Marchand is out of the squad, it will become even more difficult to score. Minnesota, in turn, after a series of disastrous matches, will probably try to play in a more closed style and allow as few dangerous moments as possible at their own goal. It is likely that the guests will not be able to score three goals in this confrontation.
We take Boston's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on the total total
Previous meetings between the clubs turned out to be quite low-level and took place with fewer than six goals scored. Minnesota prefers to be more closed-minded on its ice and plays with an eye on its own goal. The Bruins, in turn, will also probably rebuild and try to play very carefully in their zone. Moreover, the last three out of four matches with the participation of the guests were held with a minimum number of goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 1.95
