Winnipeg Jets vs Minnesota Wild 2/8/22 NHL Picks, Predictions, Odds
The Minnesota Wild and the Winnipeg Jets meet in NHL action from the Canada Life Arena on Tuesday night.
The Minnesota Wild will look to add on their six-game win streak after a 5-0 win over Chicago last time out. Kirill Kaprizov leads the Wild in scoring with 53 points including team-highs of 19 goals and 34 assists while Mats Zuccarello has 42 points with 14 goals and 28 assists. Evin Fiala has 34 points while Ryan Hartman has 33 poings with 18 goals and a team-best +32 plus/minus rating and Marcus Foligno has 17 goals as well this season. Cam Talbot’s gone 18-8-1 with a 2.81 GAA and a .913 save percentage for Winnipeg this season while Kaapo Kahkonen has gone 10-2-2 with a 2.53 GAA and a .922 save percentage this season.
The Winnipeg Jets will look to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers last time out. Kyle Connor leads the Jets in scoring with 45 points including team-highs of 25 goals and 20 assists while Pierre-Luc Dubois has 33 points with 18 goals and 15 assists. Brenden Dillon also has a team-best +12 plus/minus for the Jets this season while Connor Hellebuyck has made the majority of the starts in goal for Winnipeg, going 14-15-6 with a 2.90 GAA and a .910 save percentage this season.
Minnesota is 6-0 in their last 6 games overall and 4-0 in their last 4 games as a road favorite while the over is 7-1-2 in their last 10 division games. Winnipeg is 1-7 in their last 8 games overall and 1-5 in their last 6 home games while the over is 5-0-3 in their last 8 home games.
I get the case to be made for a home dog in most spots, but the reality here is that the Wild are the far better team playing far better hocket and being on the road hasn’t really affected them. Winnipeg’s struggling to find their footing right now and I think this game will be no different and to get the Wild with a cheap price in this matchup feels like a gift. Give me the Wild here.
