Command Analysis
Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
It's hard to say when Minnesota will regain its former form and start steadily earning points, but so far there are no prerequisites for this. The team has been losing points in almost every match for a long time, and even the home walls do not help the club achieve success. The Wild had a four-match home series in which they scored just one victory over Colorado, snatching it in a shootout (2-1). They managed to gain the upper hand mainly due to the efforts of goalkeeper Gustavson, who reflected 96% of shots, and also excelled in the shootout.
It is worth noting that the savages were close to another victory in a duel with the Rangers, but this time they suffered an insulting defeat in overtime (2:3). There were also some completely failed matches. The team hosted St. Louis and could not cope with its pressure, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. Such a long decline led to the fact that the club had already dropped to seventh place in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Erikson and Kaprizov remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota completed 20% of the majority attempts
- The Wild receive an average of 7.6 penalty minutes per match.
Los Angeles Kings
USACurrent form
Los Angeles has picked up a great pace, and the winning streak has already reached five matches in a row. After a 6-5 away win over Vegas, the team returned to the home arena, where they continued to delight fans with successful results. The Kings hosted the Islanders, leaving their opponent no chance and defeating him with a score of 4:1. Goalkeeper Kuemper played well, deflecting 33 of 34 shots. The Kings also surprised everyone with a 3-0 victory over Washington. This time, the entire defensive line was distinguished, which did not allow the capitals to realize their powerful attacking potential.
The fifth victory in a row was not so easy for the team. In the match with Nashville, there were serious problems with both creating and implementing attacking chances, but this did not prevent Victoria from pulling out in overtime (1-0). It is impossible not to praise the newly distinguished goalkeeper Kuemper, who made another shutout. Thanks to the points scored, the club has strengthened its position in the playoff zone and is currently in sixth place with 81 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Los Angeles has no problems with the lineup.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Los Angeles concedes 2.6 goals per game.

1.77Tip and bets
Minnesota is a clear outsider in the upcoming match. Indeed, the team has not recovered yet and continues to suffer defeats in almost every match. It should be noted that the home walls practically do not help the club achieve success. In particular, it is worth noting the condition of Los Angeles. The club has gained a great pace, which allows it to cope with any competitors in its path. So we suggest not to take risks, but to make a confident bet in favor of the guests.
Our betting tip is that Los Angeles will win in 2.14
Bet on the total
But you should not expect a large number of abandoned goals in this match. Minnesota has been experiencing serious performance problems lately, and Los Angeles alone is unlikely to be able to shoot a total of more than five goals.
Betting Tip - total less than 5.5 goals in 1.73
Betting on the outcome of the first period
It should also be noted that Los Angeles starts matches well and often earns an advantage at the end of the starting segment. Given all the problems of Minnesota, the visitors can win again in the first period.
Prediction - Los Angeles wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.68
