Filip Gustavsson vs. Jake Oettinger
It’s a Central Division clash with serious playoff implications as the Wild (40-25-5) head into Dallas to face the Stars (44-21-4)! Between the pipes, we’re looking at Filip Gustavsson vs. Jake Oettinger—two netminders heading in very different directions.
Gustavsson? He’s been a brick wall lately. Three straight wins, only two goals allowed, and a pristine shutout against Seattle last week. He’s dialed in, and Minnesota’s riding that hot hand to stay firmly in the playoff race.
On the flip side, Oettinger might be feeling the grind. He gave up fewer than three goals for the first time in five starts on Saturday, but his numbers in March haven’t been great. Still, Dallas is finding ways to win.

Minnesota Wild
With a 2-1 overtime victory against the Maple Leafs, the Wild improved to 40-25-5. Minnesota entered the game as the puck line favorites, but the total of 3 goals fell short of the pre-game line of 6.
Ryan Hartman opened the scoring for the Wild at 9:41 in the first period, but the Maple Leafs equalized with just 52 seconds left in the period. Matt Boldy’s goal at 2:14 in overtime secured the win for Minnesota.
Minnesota Wild Stats
Ryan Hartman opened the scoring for the Wild, netting his third goal of the season at 9:41 in the first period. Matt Boldy later secured the win with his sixth goal, coming 2:14 into overtime. Both Hartman and Boldy took three shots on goal.
Jared Spurgeon contributed with two assists, bringing his season total to three. The Wild fired 33 shots on goal but were held scoreless in the second and third periods before Boldy’s overtime winner.
Defensively, the Wild will look to build on a strong performance in their previous game, where they gave up just one goal to the Maple Leafs. Filip Gustavsson made 27 saves, finishing with a 96.4% save percentage. The Wild’s defense also recorded 7 takeaways and 22 hits. The only goal they allowed came on a power play late in the first period.
Dallas Stars
Dallas dropped to 44-21-4 after a 4-2 road loss to the Panthers. Trailing 2-0, the Stars tied it up in the second period, but Florida pulled away with two more goals, including an empty-netter.
The total for the game was set at 6.5 goals, but the combined 6 fell just short. Dallas, as the underdog on the puck line, failed to cover. Both of their goals came in the second period, after the Panthers had already scored twice.
Dallas Stars Stats
Dallas fired 25 shots on goal but only found the net twice in their 4-2 loss to Florida. Evgenii Dadonov netted his second goal of the season on a power play, while Matt Duchene added his seventh goal. Duchene also picked up his eighth assist on Dadonov’s goal.
The Stars were held scoreless in the first period before scoring twice in the second. They finished the game with 32 giveaways.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Wild +1.5
When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Stars. Nevertheless, given the payout of -216, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.
When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Wild to cover. Even in the event of a Stars victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Wild should cover the puck line.
For those looking at the over/under line set at 5.5 goals, our expectation is that this game will surpass that mark, and we suggest making a bet on the over.
