Minnesota Wild vs New York Islanders Prediction: The Islanders have a much better chance of success

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs New York Islanders match which will take place on January 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Minnesota has not lived up to expectations this season. The Wild has only 39 points, which puts them in seventh place in the standings. The team has little chance of making the playoffs, but they must improve as long as they have a chance. They've been struggling with that lately - the Wild have lost eight of their last nine games. The day before, they blew a 6:0 lead against Arizona.

Speaking of the Islanders, they look pretty good. On the eve of the meeting, the New Yorkers are in fourth place in the Metropolitan Division standings with 48 points, literally one step away from the playoffs. This fact can not but please the fans of the team. After two losses in a row, the Islanders had a good game against Toronto, winning in overtime (4:3), but then lost to Nashville with a score of 3:1.

The bookmakers believe Minnesota has the better chance of winning this one. However, we think the Islanders have a much better chance of success. The visitors have been far from fantastic lately, but they're much better than the Wild. The Wild have been on a sad run, losing eight of their last nine games, and a 6:0 loss to Arizona the night before was embarrassing. We think the Islanders can pick up at least one point.
