The Minnesota Wild are scraping and clawing. They won just 1 game in their last 10 contests but still somehow are holding on to the 2nd wild card slot in the West. The Rangers are near the bottom of the barrel in the East, but they aren’t playing too bad lately with a 5-4-1 record over their last 10.
Minnesota Wild
So far since the all-star break the Wild have a 4-game and now a 5-game losing streak under their belts. Mixed in there is a win over one of the worst teams in the league the New Jersey Devils. Minnesota’s woes definitely stem from their offense which has been shut out in back-to-back games and has put up just a goal or less in 5 of 10.

Make no mistake the Wild defense hasn’t been stellar lately either. Minnesota has given up 18 goals the last four games. Both Devan Dubnyk and Alex Stalock have allowed 8 goals in their last two starts so it’s a tough outlook for Bruce Boudreau’s team Thursday.
New York Rangers
The Rangers have flip-flopped wins and losses over the last 8 games. That doesn’t bode well for New York since they are coming in off a 2-1 win in Carolina. This will be the first game at Madison Square Garden in 10 days for the Rangers, who went 2-2 on a recent four game swing. New York is just 2-3 their last 5 at home.

Henrik Lundqvist is the probable starter for Thursday’s matchup with the Wild. The veteran was sharp stopping 43 of 44 shots – his second outing of just 1 goal allowed out of the last three. Lundqvist has also allowed 4 goals in 2 of his last 4 starts however.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Wild are 0-5 their last five overall
- Wild are 1-6 their last 7 vs. a team with a losing record
- Rangers are 5-11 their last 16 home games
Free Minnesota Wild vs. New York Rangers NHL Prediction:
The Wild are slumping right now but they still need wins because they’re in the postseason hunt. The game matters more to Minnesota – in theory. The Wild are 14-14-0 on the road this season and it’s hard to see them getting their offense going in this one.
