Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the course of the last two seasons, the Arizona Coyotes and Minnesota Wild have faced off a total of five times, with the Coyotes emerging victorious in three of those encounters while the Wild claimed two wins. The majority of these games have favored the home team, with four wins compared to just one for the visiting team. Interestingly, when it comes to betting statistics, the Arizona Coyotes have consistently beaten the spread in all five games, despite their underdog status in several matchups. The over/under betting results have been more balanced, with the over hitting three times and the under hitting twice. In terms of game performance, the Coyotes have shown a strong offensive presence in these matchups, scoring a total of 18 goals across the five games, while the Wild have managed to net 13 goals. The Coyotes have also demonstrated a solid defense, particularly in their most recent game, where they shut out the Wild. Additionally, the Coyotes have been more disciplined, accruing fewer penalty minutes in four out of the five games, which may have contributed to their edge in the head-to-head record.

The most recent game between the two teams, played on January 13, 2024, ended in a resounding 6-0 victory for the Arizona Coyotes over the Minnesota Wild. The Coyotes’ offense was in full swing, with Nick Bjugstad and Clayton Keller leading the charge. Bjugstad netted a hat trick, while Keller contributed two goals and an assist. The Coyotes’ power play was particularly effective, converting on two of their three opportunities. Defensively, the Coyotes were just as impressive, with goaltender Connor Ingram stopping all 38 shots he faced, earning a shutout. The Wild, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm, failing to capitalize on their three power play chances and ultimately being outshot 33 to 38. The Coyotes’ dominant performance was reflected in the final score, which significantly exceeded the closing over-under of 5.5, resulting in an over outcome for the game.

Minnesota Wild vs. Arizona Coyotes Predictions

The Wild come into this matchup on a three-game winning streak, looking to continue their upward trend and push for a playoff spot. With Joel Eriksson Ek leading the team in goals and Kirill Kaprizov contributing significantly in points, Minnesota’s offense has the potential to challenge the Coyotes’ defense. However, consistency has been an issue for the Wild this season, and they’ll need to maintain their recent form to come out on top.

Arizona, despite a six-game losing streak, has shown they can be a tough opponent, especially at home in the Mullett Arena. Clayton Keller has been a standout performer for the Coyotes, leading the team in goals, assists, and points. The Coyotes will be looking to their top scorer and the rest of the offense to reignite their spark and halt their slide down the standings. Defensively, both teams have had their struggles, but Arizona’s recent shutout victory in their last encounter with the Wild could give them a psychological edge.

The game could come down to key player matchups and special teams performance. With both teams having players capable of changing the game’s momentum, it will be interesting to see who steps up. The Wild’s power play and the Coyotes’ penalty kill could be decisive factors in this encounter. As the teams battle it out, fans should keep an eye on the goaltenders, who will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in the outcome of the game.

Minnesota Wild vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick

Considering the recent trends and the historic head-to-head statistics, the under seems to be the more compelling pick for this matchup. The Arizona Coyotes and Minnesota Wild have both shown inconsistency in their scoring, with the Wild hitting the under in four of their last five games and the Coyotes hitting the under in two of their last five games. Furthermore, the Coyotes’ recent defensive performance, including a shutout against the Wild, suggests they may be able to contain Minnesota’s offense once again. With both teams struggling to maintain a steady offensive output and the pressure of playoff implications, a tighter, more defensively focused game is likely.

Additionally, the previous encounter between these two teams resulted in an over outcome, but that was an outlier compared to the overall trend of their matchups. The under has hit twice in their last five games, and with the Coyotes on a six-game losing streak, their confidence in front of the net might be wavering. The Wild’s recent form has been better, but their overall road record suggests they may not be as potent offensively away from home. Taking into account the current form of both teams, the under is a sensible pick for this game.

The Pick: Under 6.0 -115 (DraftKings)
