Minnesota Wild vs. New York Rangers Predictions

The Rangers have been in impressive form this season, currently holding a 0.75 win percentage and sitting at the top of their division. Their offensive prowess has been a key factor in their success, with left winger Chris Kreider leading the team with nine goals and Artemi Panarin contributing 13 assists and 20 points. However, the Rangers will need to be wary of the Wild’s Joel Eriksson Ek, who has been a standout performer with seven goals and 13 points this season.

Defensively, both teams have shown strength, with the Rangers successfully defending against multiple power play opportunities in previous games. The Wild, on the other hand, have dominated the faceoff circle, winning more than half of the faceoffs in each game. This could prove to be a crucial factor in the upcoming match, as control of the puck often translates into control of the game.

Looking at the recent head-to-head record, the Rangers have come out on top in two of the three encounters over the past two seasons. However, the Wild claimed victory in the most recent game, a thrilling 5-4 shootout win. With both teams in good form and key players performing well, this match promises to be an exciting contest with high stakes on both sides.

Minnesota Wild vs. New York Rangers Pick

Given the recent trends and the offensive prowess of both teams, the pick for this game would be the Over. The Rangers have been in impressive form this season, with key players like Chris Kreider and Artemi Panarin contributing significantly to the team’s offensive output. On the other hand, the Wild’s Joel Eriksson Ek has been a standout performer, adding to the team’s offensive threat. Both teams have shown their ability to score, and this game is likely to be a high-scoring affair.

Looking at the historic head-to-head data, all three games between these two teams over the past two seasons have seen the total score go over the set line. This trend is likely to continue in the upcoming match, given the offensive capabilities of both teams. While both teams have shown defensive strength, the offensive firepower on both sides is likely to result in a game with a high total score, making the Over a solid pick for this game.

The Pick: Over 6.0 -120 (Bet365)
