Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the last three seasons, the Minnesota Wild and the Detroit Red Wings have faced off four times, with the Wild emerging victorious in three of those encounters while the Red Wings claimed one win. The majority of these games have favored the home team, with three wins compared to just one for the visiting team. When it comes to betting statistics, both teams have split the outcomes against the spread, with each team covering twice. The total score for these games has been evenly distributed in terms of the over/under, hitting the over twice and the under twice as well. The Wild have shown a strong performance at home, winning both games played on their ice. The Red Wings, on the other hand, have managed to secure a win at home and have struggled to replicate that success when visiting. The statistics also reveal a tendency for high-scoring games, with two of the four games exceeding the over/under line, indicating an offensive strength in these matchups.

The most recent game between the Minnesota Wild and the Detroit Red Wings took place on December 14, 2022, with the Wild securing a comfortable 4-1 victory at home. The game began with the Wild taking the lead in the first period through a power play goal by Frederick Gaudreau, and they continued to build on their advantage with Matt Dumba scoring in the second period. Although the Red Wings narrowed the gap with a goal from Elmer Soderblom, the Wild quickly responded with a goal from Mats Zuccarello, restoring their two-goal lead. Gaudreau then sealed the win with an empty-net goal in the third period. The Wild’s power play was effective, converting one of their four opportunities, and their defensive play was solid, blocking 17 shots. The Red Wings, in contrast, struggled with their power play, failing to convert any of their three chances, and were also slightly weaker in the faceoff circle, winning 47.2% compared to the Wild’s 52.8%.

Minnesota Wild vs. Detroit Red Wings Predictions

The Detroit Red Wings are looking to build on their recent success, having won their last two games with a combined score of 9-2. The team’s offense has been sparked by Alex DeBrincat, who leads the team with 12 goals, and Dylan Larkin, who has contributed a team-high 12 assists. The Red Wings’ power play has found its rhythm, and goaltending has been solid, with Alex Lyon recording a shutout in his last start. Sitting comfortably in the middle of their division, Detroit will look to capitalize on their home-ice advantage and continue their push up the standings.

Conversely, the Minnesota Wild are in a slump, losing six straight games and struggling to find consistency. With a -17 goal differential for the season, the Wild’s offense and defense have both been underwhelming. However, they boast talent in the likes of Joel Eriksson Ek, who leads the team with 9 goals, and Mats Zuccarello, who has racked up 15 assists. The Wild’s desperation to turn their season around could make them a dangerous opponent, especially if their key players can step up and make an impact.

This game presents a key player matchup between the Red Wings’ offensive leaders and the Wild’s defensive unit. The Wild’s penalty kill, currently the worst in the league, will be tested by Detroit’s recently effective power play. Both teams have had their struggles, but the Red Wings’ recent form suggests they have the edge. However, in the NHL, momentum can shift quickly, and the Wild’s urgency to end their losing streak could provide the spark they need to challenge the Red Wings on their home ice.

Minnesota Wild vs. Detroit Red Wings Pick

The Detroit Red Wings are entering this game with a notable home-ice advantage and a recent upswing in performance, having won their last two games with a significant goal differential. Their offense, led by Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin, has been clicking, and their power play has found its stride. With the Wild’s penalty kill being the weakest in the league, this gives the Red Wings a tactical edge. Additionally, the Red Wings’ goaltending has been reliable, with Alex Lyon coming off a shutout victory. Considering the Wild’s six-game losing streak and their struggles on both ends of the ice, the Red Wings’ current form and home record suggest they have the upper hand in this matchup.

While the historic head-to-head data shows the Wild have had the better of the Red Wings in recent seasons, the current dynamics are different. The Wild are in a slump, and the Red Wings have momentum on their side. The Wild’s desperation to break their losing streak could make them unpredictable, but the Red Wings’ recent cohesive play and the Wild’s lack of success on the road this season (2-7-0) point towards a continuation of Detroit’s winning ways. Given these factors, a moneyline bet on the Detroit Red Wings is the more compelling choice for this game.

The Pick: Detroit Red Wings -100. (FanDuel)
