Match Analysis: Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-16
• Time: 11:10 PM UTC
• Location: Grand Casino Arena, Saint Paul, Minnesota

Game Overview

The Vegas Golden Knights (8-4-5) face the Minnesota Wild (8-7-4) in a pivotal matchup as both teams look to stabilize their seasons. The Golden Knights are favored on the road, but the Wild have shown resilience at home. Recent trends suggest a tight, low-scoring game with both teams struggling defensively and offensively over their last 10 games.

Key Factors to Consider

• Vegas is 8-4-5, but only 3-7-0 in their last 10 games. Minnesota is 8-7-4, 4-6-0 in their last 10. Both teams have allowed over 3 goals per game recently, but the Wild average only 2.78 goals per game. Vegas has a slight edge in power play percentage (21.3% vs 26.0%), but Minnesota’s penalty kill is weaker (73.8% vs 78.7%).
• No direct H2H data for this season, but Vegas has historically performed well against Minnesota, especially on the road. The last few meetings have been close, with most decided by one goal.
• No major injuries reported for either team, but both have had depth issues in the defensive corps. Shea Theodore and Brayden McNabb are key for Vegas, while Minnesota relies heavily on Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy.
• The game is in Minnesota, but Vegas is favored. The venue is neutral in terms of crowd impact, but the Wild have a slight home advantage. Weather and travel are not significant factors.
• Both teams are fighting for playoff positioning. Vegas is trying to regain form after a rough stretch, while Minnesota is looking to build momentum at home.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Vegas Golden Knights win a close, low-scoring game.

Match Analysis: Minnesota Wild vs Anaheim Ducks – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: Saturday, November 15, 2025
• Time: 11:00 PM UTC
• Location: Xcel Energy Center (Grand Casino Arena), Saint Paul, Minnesota

Game Overview

Western Conference matchup between the Minnesota Wild (home favorites) and the Anaheim Ducks (underdog). The Wild host the Ducks in a Saturday night clash, with Minnesota favored by the sportsbooks despite Anaheim's strong recent performance.

Key Factors to Consider

• Anaheim Ducks lead the Pacific Division with an 11-5-1 record and are 7-3 over their last 10 games, though they enter on a two-game losing streak (4-1 loss to Colorado, 6-3 loss to Detroit). The Ducks average 3.88 goals per game (2nd best in NHL). Minnesota Wild are 7-3 in their last 10 games and recently lost 2-1 in overtime at home to San Jose Sharks. Wild posted 29 shots in that loss but couldn't capitalize.
• Minnesota dominates the historical matchup, having won 9 of the past 10 meetings against Anaheim and posting 5 consecutive victories. Wild won the most recent meeting 3-2 at Xcel Energy Center.
• No significant injuries reported in available data.
• The game is scheduled at Xcel Energy Center where the Wild play their home games. Anaheim's Lukas Dostal (8-5-1, 2.86 GAA) will start in goal after allowing 8 goals over his last two starts, both losses. The Ducks are facing a team that has historically dominated them, which could weigh on confidence despite recent strong divisional performance.
• Minnesota seeks to bounce back from an overtime loss at home. Anaheim, despite leading their division, faces motivation to end a two-game skid against a team that has owned them historically. The Ducks may be hungry to prove they are a different team than the one the Wild have dominated.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Minnesota Wild to win 3-2 in a tight, defensively-focused contest. While Anaheim has shown excellent recent form in their division, Minnesota's historical dominance (9-1 H2H), home-ice advantage, and the Ducks' current back-to-back losses create enough resistance to favor the Wild. However, Anaheim's strong underlying metrics and underdog value suggest a closer game than the moneyline odds imply.

Predicted Score: Minnesota Wild 3, Anaheim Ducks 2

Match Analysis: Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-12
• Time: 1:10 AM UTC
• Location: Grand Casino Arena, Saint Paul, Minnesota

Game Overview

The Minnesota Wild and San Jose Sharks meet with Minnesota as a slight favorite at home. Minnesota has a balanced 7-7-3 record and recent solid home performance, while San Jose is on a 3-game win streak but has struggled historically against Minnesota and in certain situations as an underdog.

Key Factors to Consider

• Minnesota holds a 7-7-3 record, showing stability but inconsistent results. They have recently won 2-0 over Calgary at home. San Jose is 7-6-3 with momentum, having won their last three games and averaging 3.31 goals per game but with defensive fragility allowing 3.44 goals against.
• Minnesota has won 7 of the last 8 matches against San Jose and has covered the puck line in 8 of their last 9 games against Pacific Division opponents. Conversely, the Sharks have failed to cover the puck line in 5 of their last 6 road games following a win against the Wild.
• San Jose is dealing with key injuries on attack and transition, including William Eklund and Nick Leddy on injured reserve, limiting their offensive depth. Minnesota does not have major injury concerns noted.
• The game is at Minnesota’s home arena with the Wild having a good recent home record of 4-3-2. ESPN+ will broadcast the game, adding exposure but no major external impact. Trends favor Wild in late periods.
• Minnesota aims to solidify their position in the Central Division and bounce back to winning form after a mixed start, plus motivation to maintain dominance over Sharks. San Jose looks to continue their winning streak and prove competitiveness against a rival division opponent.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Moneyline: Minnesota Wild win; Spread: Minnesota Wild -1.5; Over/Under: Over 6.5 goals

Predicted Score: Minnesota Wild 4 – San Jose Sharks 3

Match Analysis: Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-09
• Time: 1:10 AM UTC
• Location: Xcel Energy Center, Saint Paul, Minnesota

Game Overview

The Minnesota Wild (6-7-3) host the Calgary Flames (4-10-2) in a late-night NHL matchup. The Wild are in better recent form, winning two consecutive home games and coming off a 5-2 road victory, while the Flames were shut out 4-0 in their last outing and struggle both offensively (2.19 goals/game) and defensively (3.25 goals allowed/game, 23rd in the league). Minnesota is a clear favorite at home, but Calgary has historically performed well in this matchup, going 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings.

Key Factors to Consider

• Minnesota is trending upwards with two straight home wins and a more balanced attack (five goal scorers last game). Calgary is inconsistent, ranking near the bottom in both goals for and against, and was shut out last game despite leading in shots. Minnesota's recent totals have trended over, especially at home.
• Calgary holds a 6-2-2 advantage in the last 10 meetings, but Minnesota has the momentum at home this season.
• Calgary's Kevin Bahl is questionable with an undisclosed injury. No significant injuries reported for Minnesota.
• No major external factors (travel, scheduling quirks) noted. Both teams have standard travel schedules.
• Minnesota is motivated to climb the standings and capitalize on home-ice advantage. Calgary seeks to bounce back from a shutout loss, but their recent form and league position suggest desperation may not be enough.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Minnesota Wild are the stronger side in current form and are expected to secure a home win, but Calgary's recent H2H success and Minnesota's inconsistency as a big favorite (-170 or shorter ML) suggest a closer game than expected. The over is supported by Minnesota's recent goal totals at home and Calgary's porous defense.

Predicted Score: Minnesota Wild 4 – Calgary Flames 3

Match Analysis: New York Islanders vs Minnesota Wild – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-08
• Time: 12:00 AM UTC
• Location: UBS Arena, New York

Game Overview

The New York Islanders host the Minnesota Wild in an NHL matchup with the Islanders favored at home. Both teams struggle defensively, with above 3.3 goals allowed per game, but the Islanders have a stronger offense averaging 3.3 goals per game versus Minnesota's 2.8. Minnesota comes off a loss after a two-game win streak and will play their second game in two nights, likely impacting their energy.

Key Factors to Consider

• Minnesota Wild have a 5-7-3 record, losing eight of their last 11 games and 1-4 on the road in recent matches. Islanders have a 6-5-2 record, winning six of their last 10 and four of the last six at home, scoring more goals on average.
• Recent head-to-head games favor the Islanders, especially at home, with more consistent offensive output and slightly better defensive stats in those matchups.
• No key injury reports alter starting goaltender expectations; both teams expected to play their main starters with known goalie stats showing middling save percentages.
• The Wild are on the second night of a back-to-back road schedule, decreasing their rest and recovery advantage. The Islanders play at home with full rest, benefiting from arena familiarity.
• The Islanders show more motivation to maintain home-ice advantage and regain momentum after a recent loss, while the Wild face travel fatigue and less recent success.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

The New York Islanders are predicted to win straight up (moneyline) and cover the -1.5 spread, while the game total is expected to go over 6.5 goals due to weak defensive play and above-3.3 GAA from both teams.

Predicted Score: New York Islanders 4, Minnesota Wild 2

Match Analysis: Minnesota Wild vs Vancouver Canucks – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-01
• Time: 11:10 PM UTC
• Location: Grand Casino Arena, Saint Paul, Minnesota

Game Overview

The Minnesota Wild host the Vancouver Canucks in an NHL matchup where the Wild are favorites at home despite both teams having similar overall records. Minnesota holds a slight edge at 3-6-3 with some recent home struggles, while Vancouver is 6-6 and generally competitive but an underdog on the road.

Key Factors to Consider

• Minnesota has a home record of 1-3-2 and has recently alternated wins and losses; Vancouver is slightly better overall but less consistent away (4-3-0). The Wild’s offense is paced by Kirill Kaprizov who is performing strongly, while Vancouver’s Conor Garland leads their attack.
• Recent H2H trends favor Minnesota narrowly, with a projected close game and past meetings often resulting in tight scorelines. Both teams have shown competitiveness but the Wild have the slight edge at home.
• No critical injuries affecting top-line players reported; both teams appear at near full strength, allowing for normal lineups on both sides.
• The game is played at Minnesota's home arena with no travel disruptions reported. The crowd support is expected to boost Minnesota's intensity.
• Minnesota needs to improve from a subpar start and secure home wins, increasing motivation. Vancouver is motivated to maintain momentum on the road and climb in standings, making both teams engaged but Minnesota’s home advantage and urgency may be slightly stronger.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Moneyline: Minnesota Wild to win, Spread: Vancouver Canucks +1.5, Over/Under: Over 5.5 goals

Predicted Score: Minnesota Wild 4 – Vancouver Canucks 3
