The Minnesota Wild have managed to keep hold of the 2nd wild card spot in the West despite trading off scoring at the all-star break and enduring two separate 4+ game losing streaks in the month of February. The road doesn’t get any easier Tuesday with a trip to Nashville.
The Predators are a dangerous wager over the last 14 games of the season because they seem to be on cruise control towards the playoffs. Nashville is 10 points up on the wild card, but also 8 back from the 1 seed so it’s understandable why their sense of urgency isn’t completely intense.
Minnesota Wild
People have counted them out since the all-star break. Minnesota even might have counted themselves out by trading Mikael Granlund to these Predators at the deadline yet here the Wild still are. Minnesota has used a 5-3-2 run over their last 10 as well as a five game win streak prior to Sunday to sit in the #2 wild card spot.
The loss Sunday happened to come at the Xcel Energy Center to Nashville as the teams have a home-and-home separated by an off day Monday. Nashville got the 2-3 OT win to snap Minnesota’s five game win streak – four of which came on the road.

The Wild had some very solid wins last week including a 4-2 win in Calgary (+166) and a 3-2 win in Winnipeg (+134). Minnesota has upset on their minds and they’ll have #1 goaltender Devan Dubnyk in net to do that after Alex Stalock got the start Sunday.
Nashville Predators
Nashville will also have their top netminder between the pipes on Tuesday as Pekka Rinne was granted a night off on Sunday. Rinne is 4-2 over his last six and he’s held three opponents to 2 goals or less over that span.
The Preds needed the win over Minnesota on Sunday as it was just their 2nd in the last five games. Nashville also had a SO win the Sunday prior, but it came against Edmonton as -240 home favorites. The Friday before that the Preds dropped an 0-5 defeat to Colorado as -200 favorites. Can you trust this team?

Even the home ice isn’t a guaranteed win like it used to be at Bridgestone Arena. Sure the 21-12-1 record the Predators have in Nashville is impressive, but Minnesota has been solid on the road with a 18-14 tally away from St. Paul.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Wild are 4-0 the last four road games
- Wild are 5-1 their last six overall
- Wild are 0-4 the last four meetings in Nashville
- Home team is 8-1 the last 9 meetings
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Under 5.5
It’s hard to take a side in this contest. Minnesota has been playing great on the road, but they still have issues in Nashville where they’ve dropped the last four. The Preds are a solid bet in this one, but there’s absolutely no value in the ML at -200.
NHL Free Score Prediction: Wild 1 – Predators 2
The teams fought to a 3-2 finish on Sunday with both squads putting backup goaltenders out there. The #1’s are back in the lineup Tuesday and they’re both fresh with the extra off day.
