Seattle - Minnesota: NHL match betting tip
On March 5, Seattle will continue its home series, which it started as successfully as possible. This time, the team will face Minnesota and try to take advantage of its poor form. Our experts, in turn, have prepared a betting tip that will help you identify the most optimal rates

Command Analysis

Seattle Kraken

Current form
Seattle successfully started the home series, but in the first match against Calgary, the team almost lost in regular time. Nevertheless, they managed to equalize the score four minutes before the end and put the game into overtime, where they won 3-2. Goalkeeper Dakkor blocked 27 of 29 shots. In the second match, the Kraken defeated Florida (2-1), demonstrating a reliable defensive game and not allowing the opponent to realize their attacking potential. Dakkor once again showed a high level of play. However, this was the end of the team's success, and it began to show terrible results. Baylsma's team went to visit Tampa, where they failed to show their attacking potential, but they themselves allowed the lightning to realize themselves to the fullest, which led to a defeat (1:4). Goalkeeper Souza did not prove himself, reflecting only 86% of shots.
In the final match of the away series, the team was not at all able to give a decent rebuff to St. Louis, having suffered a defeat with a difference of as many as five goals (2:7). This time, the goal was defended by Dakkor, who played even worse than his teammate. He had to be replaced in the middle of the second period after the fifth missed goal. It was only after returning to the home arena that the club was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans and regain some of the lost points. In the duel with Vancouver, the Kraken were finally able to show their attacking potential and won a landslide victory due to this (6:3). It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. It is worth noting that Seattle continues to be outside the playoff zone, and the gap from the eighth position is still large and amounts to nine points.

Minnesota Wild

Current form
Minnesota has finally started to recover from a slump and a three-game losing streak. The series of failures began on the home arena, where the Wild could not cope with Detroit, although they had excellent chances to do so. The opponent, despite a very weak game in attack, was able to regain all the advantage in the second period and in the final twenty minutes he pulled ahead, which eventually led to a defeat (2:3). Goalkeeper Gustavsson showed his worst side, reflecting only 81% of shots. Next, the savages went to play on the road, where they fought with Utah and, to the great disappointment of the fans, were defeated (1-6). This time, the entire defensive line played poorly, which allowed the opponent to easily enter his zone and make a huge number of shots, which Fleury could not cope with.
After a complete failure, the Wild went to visit an even more powerful competitor, Colorado. Due to their slump, the team was unable to withstand the Avalanche and also allowed him to realize his attacking potential to the fullest, which led to the third defeat in a row (2:5). What is especially noteworthy is that already in the second match, Minnesota looked as weak as possible in attack and made only 36 shots in both meetings, which is unusual for it. The club was able to win back only by returning to the home arena, where it fought with Boston and with great difficulty wrested Victoria away from him in regular time (1-0). Goalkeeper Gustavsson made a huge contribution to the success, reflecting all the shots, thereby making a cracker. Even despite its decline, the team continues to confidently occupy a position in the playoff zone and is currently on the fifth line in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kaprizov and Eriksson will not be able to help their team in the upcoming match. Brodin is also questionable.
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.

1.45Tip and bets
It is unlikely that Seattle will be able to fight back in the upcoming match. Minnesota has already begun to recover from the recession, and it surpasses its opponent in all respects. Indeed, this season the savages are playing a great game and rarely have difficulties in duels with outsiders. It is worth paying attention to face-to-face meetings, in which Wilde consistently achieves success. So we suggest not to take risks, but to make a confident bet in favor of the owners of the ice for an excellent coefficient.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win the match in 1.92
Bet on the total
But you still shouldn't expect a lot of abandoned pucks. As you can see, Minnesota has been having trouble creating and implementing offensive chances lately, while the Kraken have been doing this throughout the season. So we choose the total less as the second bet.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.92
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Seattle's first period was far from the most successful. Recently, the team has consistently allowed its opponents to gain an advantage at the end of the starting segment, which the Wild are also able to take advantage of.
Prediction - Minnesota wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.92
