Minnesota Wild vs Florida Panthers Prediction: Expect a Total Over

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs Florida Panthers match, which will take place on February 14. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Minnesota has been performing quite well this season. The team is balancing on the verge of the playoffs in the West, currently in eighth place with 60 points, while they are fourth in the Central Division standings. So the Wild are in the playoff zone but on edge. They've had a severe slump lately, with six losses in nine games. Minnesota has played four games since the break, losing three straight and beating New Jersey (3:2).

Florida has completely failed to live up to expectations in the current campaign. Last season we saw the Panthers as a win-stamping machine, but this year they are just tenth in the overall standings in the East and fourth in the Atlantic Division. The team currently has 58 points, which leaves them out of the playoff zone. As for Florida's last games, after three wins in a row, they lost to Colorado by a score of 3:5.

In the upcoming matchup, we suggest staying away from the outcomes. The opponents are far from the best conditions and are clearly in crisis. It should be noted that they've been entirely unreliable defensively lately, conceding a lot. It is also interesting that in the four previous head-to-head encounters, the opponents have hit a total over (7.5) goals. Therefore, we are waiting for a spectacular hockey game, where the rivals will create at least seven pucks - we take the total over.
