Wild Just Keep Winning Now

There wasn’t a whole lot of talk heading into the season about the Wild, but maybe there should have been because they have been impressive. In the last game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Wild scored five goals, including four in the third period on the way to the victory. Kirill Kaprizov is having an elite start to the season and he scored two goals and added an assist. 

The Wild are averaging 3.9 goals while their defense is giving up 2.6 goals per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league while the defense is ranked 5th. In this game, if the Wild get out to a fast start and the defense steps up, they will be in good shape to secure the win. 

Maple Leafs on Back-to-Back

After a game on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues, the Maple Leafs go a little farther north to take on the Wild. Two games ago against the Seattle Kraken, the Maple Leafs scored four goals and they ended up winning by three. William Nylander was in goal and he scored two goals to help pace Toronto. Joseph Woll was in goal and he saved 24 of the 25 shots that he faced. On tired legs, the defense is going to need to be impressive. 

The Maple Leafs are averaging 3.27 goals while their defense is giving up 3.00 goals per game. The offense is ranked 13th in the league while the defense is ranked 8th in the league. William Nylander has scored eight goals and added four assists so far this season. 

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Minnesota Wild Prediction

The Wild are going to have the more well-rested legs, and that is going to be the difference here. The Wild’s offense has been impressive heading into this game and they are going to have no issue again here. Kaprizov is going to find the back of the net at least once, and it’s going to be the Wild that are going to end up coming out on top here. Back the Wild on the money line.
