Winnipeg Jets
Tuesday’s game from the XCel Energy Center is a tough one to handicap. The Jets definitely need the win as they are in a battle with Nashville for the Central Division crown. At the same time, Winnipeg comes in on 0 days rest after a Monday tilt in Chicago.
Winnipeg isn’t playing with a whole lot of urgency however as they dropped three games in a row heading to the matchup with Chicago. The Jets’ #7 scoring offense has been held to 2 goals or less in 3 of 6 games.

The downside of back-to-back for Winnipeg isn’t just skater fatigue, but that they’ll likely use up Connor Hellebuyck in net as the probable starter vs. Chicago.
Therefore on Tuesday vs. Minnesota, Eric Comrie gets the call up for his 1st game of the season in the pros and just his 5th game action of his career.
Minnesota Wild
The Wild do get a break with Winnipeg coming in on the back-to-back, especially as the Wild are 4 points out of the 2nd wild card spot but with just 3 contests to play.
Even if Minnesota would have momentum heading into this one, that’s been the situation for the past month plus and they’ve played horrible. The Wild are just 3-6-1 over their last 10 and have had one of their worst home records in recent memory at just 15-17-5.

Minnesota will have an advantage over Winnipeg in that their #1 Devan Dubnyk will be in net. He doesn’t get a whole lot of help from his offense, going 3-4 over the last 7 despite allowing more than 2 goals just once over that span.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Jets are 6-1 their last 7 on 0 days rest

Free Winnipeg Jets vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction:
A tired Jets offense is up against a stingy Minnesota goaltender. The Winnipeg goaltender has his liabilities, but the Wild offense don’t seem prepared to take advantage of that.
