Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction: What can we expect from the match?

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche match, which will take place on February 16. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Minnesota Wild

Minnesota is having a far from a perfect season, but they are not disappointing their fans either. Right now, the Wild are eighth in the West standings and fourth in the Central standings. They have 61 points, so they are on the edge of the playoff zone. It should be noted that lately, the team is not doing well because, in ten games, they have not registered a single win in regulation time - three outside of it and seven more defeats. In the previous match, Minnesota lost to Florida (1:2).

Colorado Avalanche

Colorado has not been impressive in the current campaign. We unwittingly expect great results from the reigning Stanley Cup winner, but now they are only seventh in the Western Conference standings and third in the Central Division standings. Like Minnesota, Colorado has 61 points. Especially since they haven't been flashy in recent games either, with only one win in the previous four. There were also three losses; the last was a 3:4 shootout loss to Tampa Bay.

Expert Betting Tips

We favor Colorado in this meeting. The teams are performing about the same this season, and they even have the same number of points right now. However, the Wild can't win in regular time in ten games in a row, which isn't good for their morale. The situation for the Avalanche is noticeably better. In their previous 12 games, they lost only twice in three periods. We think that here, too, they can at least not concede in regulation time.
