You are here

NHL Minnesota vs Chicago

Head coach Mike Yeo of the Minnesota wild deserves a lot of credit for holding his team together through the loss of both of the Wild’s top goaltenders and numerous key injuries to top offensive players throughout the season as Minnesota is on the cusp of a playoff berth. Gamblers have been wary of the Wild inn their road games however but undertakers have taken a liking to the Wild’s low scoring ways. The Chicago Blackhawks have been trying to play through the injury to Patrick Kane, one of the most dynamic offensive talents in the NHL, but have remained a solid bet and favorite play for gamblers when on home ice. The Chicago Blackhawks will host the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night with coverage on NBCSN starting at 8 PM ET.

Not Wild about Road Trips

The Minnesota Wild have paid out in just 7 out of their last 20 games with the NHL odds as just 6 out of their 20 away games have gone over the total. Minnesota is already a low scoring defensive oriented team but takes that conservative nature to an extra level on the road.

Expensive Home for Hawks

The Chicago Blackhawks have won 11 out of their last 17 home games and since they are often a -200+ favorite those losses were quite costly. The Hawks went over the total in 11 out of their last 20 home games.

The Pick

The Chicago Blackhawks have come away with the cash in 12 out of their last 20 games with the Minnesota Wild as 8 out their last 20 meetings have gone under the total. It is interesting to note that the Chicago Blackhawks have been far more dominant at their home rink of the United Center against the Minnesota Wild where the Hawks have won 8 out of their last 11 games with the Wild as 7 out of the last 9 games at Chicago between the Wild and Blackhawks have gone over the total. Based on that head to head record and their dominance at home against the Wild We’ll call for the Chicago Blackhawks and over the total in this one!
