Wild Dominated on Thursday

The Wild jumped out to a lead on Thursday, and they were able to secure the 5-2 victory. Matt Boldy had a strong game scoring two goals. Zach Bogosian and Jonas Brodin both scored a goal and that was the difference in the victory over the San Jose Sharks. Even though they ended up winning,  now there has to be some concern about having tired legs heading into this game. The Wild are averaging 3.5 points while their defense is giving up 2.67 goals per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league while the defense is ranked 5th. Kirill Karpizov has scored seven goals and added 14 assists so far this season. 

Ducks Are Struggling

The Ducks are really struggling heading into this game and they have lost three games in a row. Over the last three games, the offense has scored only four goals total, and that has led to the defeat. On Tuesday the Ducks faced off against the Vancouver Canucks and they ended up losing 5-1. Olen Zellweger had a strong game scoring a goal. The Ducks on the season are averaging 2.09 goals while their defense is giving up 3.0 goals per game. The offense is ranked 32nd in the league while the defense is ranked 10th. Troy Terry scored five goals and added five assists. The Ducks will face the Blue Jackets, Golden Knights, and Red Wings next

Minnesota Wild vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction

The Wild are going to be on tired legs and I think that is going to hurt their offensive scoring chances here. The Wild’s offense has had some major issues heading into this game trying to create quality scoring chances and that is also going to continue to be the case here. Look for both offenses to struggle to get quality scoring chances and this game is going to end up staying under the total.
