The Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Xcel Energy Center. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

The Winnipeg Jets are averaging 3 goals per game and are scoring on 19.1 percent of their power play opportunities. Mark Scheifele leads Winnipeg with 40 goals, Josh Morrissey has 57 assists and Kyle Connor has 266 shots on goal. Defensively, the Winnipeg Jets are allowing 2.8 goals per game and are killing 82.5 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Connor Hellebuyck has given up 154 goals on 1,909 shots faced, and David Rittich has allowed 47 goals on 482 shots.

The Minnesota Wild are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 21.7 percent of their power play opportunities. Kirill Kaprizov leads Minnesota with 39 goals, Mats Zuccarello has 45 assists and Joel Eriksson Ek has 247 shots on goal. Defensively, the Minnesota Wild are allowing 2.6 goals per game and are killing 81.3 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Marc-Andre Fleury has given up 123 goals on 1,347 shots faced, and Filip Gustavsson has allowed 75 goals on 1,100 shots.

The Jets are 5-1 in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest and 2-6 in their last 8 Tuesday games. The Wild are 77-33 in their last 110 home games and 17-8 in their last 25 overall. The under is 37-11-3 in Jets last 51 overall. The over is 10-4-1 in Wild last 15 overall. The Jets are 0-4 in the last 4 meetings in Minnesota and 2-6 in the last 8 meetings. The home team is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.

Both teams on the end of a back to back, I have to lean toward the Minnesota Wild at home, where they’ve been one of the best teams dating back to last season. The Jets have had trouble against the Wild over the years as well. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Wild and the cheap price.
