The Minnesota Wild and Anaheim Ducks face off on Wednesday in an NHL showdown at the Honda Center. The Wild have won the last ten games over the Ducks. 

The Wild headed into Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings with a 5-5-1 record. On Thursday, against the Seattle Kraken, the offense scored zero goals, and that led to the four-goal defeat. The Wild had 22 shots on goal, but on tired legs, they are going to need to do a better job of taking quality scoring chances. The Wild are averaging 3.0 goals per game, while their defense is giving up 3.64 goals per game. The defense is ranked 25th, and they need good goal tending in this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Ducks, who sit with a 4-8-1 record overall, and they are coming off a loss in their last game. In the last game against the Carolina Panthers, the defense gave up five goals and that led to the two-goal defeat. Ryan Strome scored one goal and added an assist. The Ducks are averaging 2.83 goals, while their defense is giving up 4.62 goals per game. The offense is ranked 22nd in the league, while their defense is ranked 32nd. Troy Terry has scored five goals and added 12 assists. 

The Wild are 6-0 in their last six games, playing on zero days of rest. The Ducks are 1-7 in their last eight games on Wednesday. The over is 5-0 in the Ducks last five games overall. The under is 5-1 in the Wild last six games overall. 

Most teams struggle on the second night of a back to back, but not the Wild. They have also dominated the Ducks. The Ducks are giving up 4.62 goals per game, and they are going to really struggle to defend again in this game. Look for the Wild to start the scoring early, and that is going to be the difference here as Minnesota gets the job done. I am taking the Wild on the money line, but will also throw a few dollars on the Wild -1.5 to cash.
