There was a time when the Wild held one of the best home ice advantages in all of the league. Minnesota is still 10-6-1 at home this season and they look to expand on that vs. Dallas on Saturday. The Stars are 6-11-2 away this year but Minnesota has also dropped three in a row.
Dallas Stars
Dallas is in a bad way having dropped 5 of their last six games. They recently went 0-4 on a four game road swing and now play the Wild and Islanders in the next two nights. Dallas is 8-22 in their last 30 road contests. The Stars offense has also been held to 2 goals or less in 4 of the last 6.

Goaltender Ben Bishop did goaltend a shutout two games ago vs. Calgary but he followed that up with allowing 3 goals on 27 shots to Chicago. Since December 1st Bishop has held 4 of 7 opponents to goals or less so Dallas at least has a fighting chance in this one.
Minnesota Wild
Only one point separates Minnesota and Dallas in the Western Conference so Saturday night’s contest is very important. The Wild have dropped three straight as their offense has gone completely AWOL. Minnesota has netted a combined total of 2 goals in their last 3 games and has a tough matchup vs. Bishop Saturday.

Minnesota has actually been getting some good defense from their top 10 unit on that side of the ice but you can’t win if you don’t score. Devan Dubnyk will try to keep this a low scoring affair. He’s been in net for 3 straight losses but has allowed 2,3, and 2 goals over that span. The Stars are 27th in scoring this year.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Wild are 1-5 their last 6 on 1 days rest

- Stars are 1-5 their last 6 overall

Free Dallas Stars vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction:
There’s not a whole lot of value in Minnesota at -162 especially considering they’ve lost 3 in a row. Dallas has been pretty bad playing in St. Paul however. At the very least this should be a low scoring affair which means it could be anybody’s game.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Dallas +135
Dallas gets just enough offense vs. a Wild team that is struggling to score.
