Minnesota's been doing really well for a while. But recently, the Wild have hit a bit of a slump. In the last seven games, they lost five times, including a 1-3 loss to Ottawa the day before in front of their own fans. But these losses aren't going to just disappear, and the Wild are currently sitting in third place in the Western Conference standings with 48 points. At the same time, they're seven points behind Winnipeg, but they were recently level with it.
Nashville
After a pretty poor start, Nashville is finally getting some momentum. Miraculously, Andrew Brunette hasn't been fired, but with such a great roster, it's almost as if he doesn't know what to do with it. In 37 games, the Predators have only won 11 and failed 26, and with 29 points they're currently in 14th place in the West standings. They had a good run with four wins in six games, but then lost 4-7 to St. Louis and 0-3 to Winnipeg.
Expert Betting Tips
So, for the next game, we suggest going for Minnesota. The Wild have had problems lately, but the Predators have global problems, and literally from the very first game of the regular season. On top of that, it's the second day in a row that Nashville has back-to-back games, and they're coming off two losses by three goals each, 4-7 to St. Louis and 0-3 to Winnipeg. We think the Wild won't let another loss happen in front of their fans, so we're betting on their victory.
