Minnesota Wild
Minnesota is eighth in the Western Conference table, but has been showing a mediocre game for a month and a half and cannot get out on a winning streak. Fortunately, in the final two meetings with Dallas (2:1) and Nashville (4:3), Dean Evason’s team still celebrated the victory. Again, the “savages” got one of these victories in a shootout and the other with a difference of one puck. The Wild cannot improve their performance in any way and often continue to score no more than two goals, so they experience huge problems in matches with the leaders and strong midfielders.
Los Angeles Kings
Los Angeles are gradually improving their position in the Western Conference table and have already climbed to fourth place. The team, unlike its counterpart, is in great shape and goes to a series of four victories. Earlier, on their ice, they dealt with the Buffalo (5:2) and Arizona (6:5) and meanwhile on the road they beat Anaheim with a score of 6:3. This season Todd McLellan’s wards prefer to play more open hockey, so even on the road they differ on average by no less than three goals scored, although they concede no less in response. The most lethal in their performance is the second period, when the game is on the far benches. More todays NHL predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
