Minnesota Wild vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction: Looking forward to a productive match

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs Pittsburgh Penguins match, which will take place on November 18. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Minnesota is a team that made some serious progress last season, but the Wildcats have yet to improve their game. They had already suffered three straight losses in the opening stages of the regular season, conceding an embarrassingly high number of goals. In the previous six meetings, the St. Paul team could only beat Anaheim and Seattle 4:1 and 1:0, respectively, and lost four times, dropping to ninth place in the Western Conference standings.

Pittsburgh is doing even worse in the current regular season. The Penguins hold the league record for consecutive playoff appearances, but their streak might end this season. They had their best stretch since the start of the regular season, scoring nine possible ten points in five games. In the next 11 games, they won only twice and lost nine times. The poor start drove the Yellow and Black to 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Minnesota and Pittsburgh have not been at their best this regular season. The Penguins have at least begun to cling to their lead in recent away games, scoring five of a possible six points. The team will now have a chance to improve that statistic, as they have played well against the Wildcats and have won six of their last seven head-to-head encounters. As a result, a bet on Pittsburgh to win the match at odds of around 1.90 is in order.

The confrontation between Minnesota and Pittsburgh has been very productive in recent years. In the previous four head-to-head encounters, the opponents have scored 35 goals against each other (8.75 goals per game on average). And now we can expect a fun time, so the best option for the prediction is a total over 6.5 pucks at odds of 2.22, and we should bet on a total over 0.5 points by Jason Zucker.
