Pittsburgh, after a well-conducted away series, will clear up relations with Minnesota at home, and our experts will give a prediction for this event.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh had a great away series and won in all three matches. With the same score, the team cracked down on Vegas (4: 3), Colorado (4: 3 OT) and Arizona (4: 3 SO). Thus, Penguins in all meetings did not score less than three goals.
Thanks to this series, the team of Mike Sullivan moved up to the third line of the East and secured 61 points, so they will soon be able to compete with the leaders.
Minnesota Wild
Minnesota is losing after losing and cannot find their chemistry. The team lost at home to Calgary on shootouts (4: 5), then lost to the Flames away (1: 2), and also was defeated by Vancouver (1: 4) at home. Throughout two meetings, the Wild cannot open the opponent’s defence more than once.
The Wild is currently on the 11th line of the Western Conference and has 46 points in the asset. Of course, the team cannot even think of entering the playoffs right now.
Pittsburgh Penguins vs Minnesota Wild prediction
In our opinion, Pittsburgh is in great shape, and they are located on the second line of their conference. They should consolidate the success of the away series at home as well. Minnesota can not score more than one goal recently and experiencing severe difficulties in the offence. Based on this, it’s worth considering a bet for the victory of the Penguins in the regular time.
