The fact that Florida is listed at -105 despite Minnesota’s success in St. Paul is a real testament to how good the Panthers have been this season. Joel Quenneville’s team is also in the midst of a 4-game win streak.
Florida Panthers
The public is liking Florida early on in this matchup and why wouldn’t you as they boast 4 wins in a row. Two of those were tomato can wins vs. LA and Detroit but the other two came against Vancouver and Toronto.
What the Panthers are really doing is finding some offense as of late. Florida has netted 4+ goals in 5 of their last 6 games – all wins. The Panthers are even a decent 10-8-3 on the road this season.
What’s largely led Florida’s surge to 3rd in the very tough Atlantic is Jonathan Huberdeau finally realizing his potential as a former #3 pick. Huberdeau scored 92 points a season ago, but has 64 through 47 games this year.
What’s impressive about Florida’s march this year is that they’ve won almost in spite of big name offseason acquisition Sergei Bobrovsky. He’s allowed at least 3 goals in 6 of 8 games, and 4+ in four of those.
Minnesota Wild
Minnesota has proven to be a very streaky team this year but they are trending upwards with two wins in a row. Not only that, the wins have come over quality teams in Tampa Bay (3-2) and Dallas (7-0).
The offensive output of 7 goals vs. Dallas was highly unexpected for a Minnesota team that has struggled to score for a majority of the year despite ranking 18th in the league with a 3.0 goal average.The Wild have 1 goal scored in 4 of their last 9.
Even more surprising is the 0 goals allowed to Dallas. After all, Minnesota is way down there at 29th in goals allowed this season.
Alex Stalock is starting to turn some heads in net for the Wild. He has allowed 2 goals or less in three straight games, including a SO vs. Dallas and allowing just 2 to Tampa Bay’s #3 scoring offense a game prior.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Panthers are 4-0 last 4 overall
- Wild are 4-1 last 5 vs. Atlantic
- Panthers are 1-10 last 11 in Minnesota
- Home team is 8-2 last 10 meetings
Free Florida Panthers vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction:
There’s a lot going on for Florida in this matchup. They were in Detroit last game, but a visit to single digit temperature St. Paul is never comfortable.
On top of that, the Panthers visit Chicago on Tuesday night in coach Joel Quenneville’s old stomping grounds not to mention the last game before the all-star break. The Wild have been solid at home and continue that run in a high scoring game.
