New York Islanders vs Minnesota Wild Prediction: Minnesota has a better chance of success

Prediction for the NHL New York Islanders vs Minnesota Wild match, which will take place on January 13. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Islanders have been playing pretty good hockey this season. They are in the role of a strong middle of the East - in 42 games, they have 22 wins and 20 losses. Therefore, with 47 points, the team is sixth in the table of the Metropolitan Division. Now the Islanders have a series of three defeats in a row - 2:4 from Edmonton, 1:4 from Calgary, and 1:2 on the shootout from Dallas.

Minnesota is also a solid mid-major in the Western Conference, but it's in a slightly better situation. In 40 meetings, the Wild have managed 22 wins and 18 losses, so, with 48 points, they have settled into third place in the Central Division standings. As for Minnesota's last games, they also have a three-game losing streak - 5:6 (OT) against Buffalo, 0:3 against St. Louis, and 3:4 against the Rangers.

It's problematic to pick a favorite in this meeting, as the teams perform at about the same level. Still, we think that Minnesota has a better chance of succeeding. Wild lost in the regulation time only in one of the last five meetings, and they are scoring decently.
