The Winnipeg Jets and Minnesota Wild are set to clash on Tuesday night at the Xcel Energy Center and the Wild look to be turning the corner after an early-season slump. After losing four of their first five games, the Wild have rebounded to win three of the last four and make an excellent puckline pick against the Jets.
- The visiting team is 2-5 SU in the last 7 games in this matchup.
- The total has gone OVER in the last four games between these teams.
- Winnipeg is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 road games.
The value of the Wild’s -1.5 puckline odds can’t be ignored. Sportsbook at +220, the Wild are 4-1 ATS in their last five games and in the midst of a six-game homestand where they have back-to-back wins SU against the Islanders and Penguins. After Minnesota finished second in the Western Conference last season, bettors have been patiently waiting for the Wild to regain their regular-season form and this game may be the stepping stone back to the upper tier.
Winnipeg, flush with talent, has been hot and cold in its first 10 games. Although the mixed results have been reflected in the standings for the Jets, there’s no denying they can score goals with the best of them. The total has gone OVER in 12 of Winnipeg’s last 16 games, dating back to last season. The Jets also know how to score on the road as the total has gone OVER in six of their last eight games away from Bell MTS Place.
If those numbers don’t sway you to consider the OVER (which opened at 6), you should also note that the total has gone OVER in eight of the Wild’s last 12 home games (dating back to last season) and seven of their last 10 overall.
