New Jersey Devils vs. Minnesota Wild Predictions
The Devils have been in impressive form recently, winning four of their last five games. Their offensive prowess has been a key factor in their success, with right winger Tyler Toffoli leading the team with seven goals. Center Jack Hughes has also been a standout performer, leading the NHL with 18 points through eight games played. The Devils’ power play performance has been superior, capitalizing on opportunities and currently leading the league with a 42.4 percent success rate. However, their penalty kill has been a concern, ranking 28th in the league.
On the other hand, the Wild have been struggling, losing their last three games. Despite their recent form, they have shown potential, with right winger Ryan Hartman leading the team with six goals and center Joel Eriksson Ek leading in points with 10. The Wild’s penalty kill has been a major issue, with a success rate of 67.9 percent, tied for last in the league. Their power play has also been less than stellar, ranking 10th in the league with a 23.9 percent success rate.
The key matchup in this game could be between the Devils’ potent power play and the Wild’s struggling penalty kill.

However, the Wild will be looking to improve their penalty kill and shut down the Devils’ power play. The outcome of this game could hinge on which team is able to execute their special teams strategies more effectively.
