The Minnesota Wild need a win after losing 5 of their last 6 games. The Dallas Stars look for a win after splitting their last 8 games. Let’s preview this game and give out a Minnesota Wild vs Dallas Stars prediction.

Minnesota Wild Betting Preview

The Minnesota Wild lost to the Lightning and Stars recently, while beating the Blue Jackets. The Minnesota Wild are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 18.2 percent of their power play opportunities. Joel Eriksson Ek leads Minnesota with 15 goals, Mats Zuccarello has 23 assists and Kirill Kaprizov has 110 shots on goal.

Minnesota Wild vs Dallas Stars prediction

The Minnesota Wild enter this contest in rough shape, and I doubt they figure things out on the road. The Dallas Stars have played their best hockey at home, and they’ve won each of the last 6 meetings against the Wild, which includes a 4-0 win on Monday. The Wild have scored 2 or fewer goals in five of their last 6 games. It’s hard to make a case for the Wild in this spot. Give me the Dallas Stars and the PL for max betting value.
