Minnesota Wild vs Washington Capitals: Expect many goals

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs Washington Capitals match, which will take place on January 9. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Wild finally broke their awful losing streak with a 3:2 win over Boston in their last game. After this victory, the team will clearly believe in themselves and gather their thoughts. Minnesota has dropped to fourth place because of their losing streak, and Nashville is now four points behind first place. This needs to be fixed now!

Washington hasn't played an official game since January 2. They suffered a sensational 3:4 loss to New Jersey in overtime. During that time, not much has changed in the Metropolitan Division standings. The Capitals remain in the lead, but the second-placed Rangers are tied at 48 points as well. So Washington needs to improve.

Even though Minnesota hasn't played their best, we all know how they can play. Washington can't neglect the points now, otherwise, they risk going down to second place. In our opinion, in this pairing, it is better to bet on TO. Prediction: Total Over (6.5).
