Minnesota Wild at Detroit Red Wings odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Minnesota Wild at Detroit Red Wings sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

[jwplayer wcHtPTSE]

The Minnesota Wild (30-25-7) square off with the Detroit Red Wings (15-46-4) Thursday at Little Caesars Arena at 7:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Red Wings sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Wild at Red Wings: Projected starting goalies

Devan Dubnyk vs. Jimmy Howard

Dubnyk was an All-Star last season, but he has fallen on hard times, while G Alex Stalock has been much more effective. However, Dubnyk is expected to make the start at LCA, and he’ll get a crack at the league’s worst team in an effort to build up his confidence. He enters 11-15-2 with a 3.34 goals against average and .892 save percentage.

Howard has been horrific this season, going 2-22-2 with a 4.08 GAA and .886 save percentage. He has the league’s worst offense in front of him, which doesn’t help. Of course, allowing north of four goals a game doesn’t help either.

Prediction

Wild 4, Red Wings 2

Moneyline (ML)

The Wild (-213) have been struggling, so even a date with the league’s worst team, the Red Wings (+175), isn’t necessarily a slam-dunk play. In fact, if you were to take a flier on either team, Detroit is the better option. Still, the best play is to AVOID.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Wild ML returns a profit of $4.69 if they win, while a $10 wager on the Red Wings ML results in a profit of $17.50.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

If you’re going to make a small-unit wager on this game, the WILD (-1.5, +125) are a better play. The Wild won their last road game and covered the puck line in a 5-3 victory at the Edmonton Oilers Friday. Five of their past nine wins have results in puck-line covers, too. The Red Wings (+1.5, -154) are a little too expensive if you’re looking for a little insurance.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-121) is worth a roll of the dice, going 10-3-1 in the past 14 meetings between these sides in the Motor City. The Over is also 4-0-1 in the past five for Minnesota against the East, and 8-3 in the past 11 on the road.

Vegas Golden Knights at Minnesota Wild odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tuesday’s Vegas Golden Knights at Minnesota Wild sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Vegas Golden Knights (28-21-8) and Minnesota Wild (26-23-6) do battle at XCel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday. We analyze the Golden Knights-Wild sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Golden Knights at Wild: Projected starting goalies

Marc-Andre Fleury vs. Devan Dubnyk

Fleury has tailed off lately, going just 3-5-2 across his past 10 starts dating back to Jan. 7. He hasn’t won consecutive starts since a four-game personal win streak from Dec. 28-Jan. 4. The last time he faced the Wild, however, he allowed just two goals on 26 shots in a Dec. 17 win in Las Vegas. Fleury also won his only start in St. Paul last season, allowing only one goal on 30 shots.

Dubnyk was on the short end of 3-2 decision against the Colorado Avalanche Sunday, so he’ll be looking to pick himself up off the mat. He has just one win in his past four starts at home, and that victory came against the lowly Detroit Red Wings. Perhaps Alex Stalock gets a chance instead. He is 13-8-3 with a 2.85 goals against average and .905 save percentage, and he might give Minnesota a better chance. He allowed three goals on 29 shots in that 3-2 loss to Vegas earlier this season.

Golden Knights at Wild: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Golden Knights 3, Wild 1

Moneyline (ML)

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-149) are favored on the road, and they’re clearly the better team. The amount of your wager should depend on whom the Wild (+125) settle upon in goal. If it’s Dubnyk, bet the Golden Knights a little more heavily. If it’s Stalock, be a little more cautious. The road team is 4-1 in the past five meetings in this head-to-head series.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Golden Knights to grab the road win returns a profit of $6.70, while a $10 wager on the Wild results in a profit of $12.50.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-1.5, +180) are tempting at a potential return of nearly double money. Again, the risk is considerably less with Dubnyk in the crease rather than Stalock. In fact, if it’s Dubnyk, roll the dice on a small-unit puck-line play. If it’s Stalock, AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 5.5 (+125) is worth a play, as it is 3-0-1 in the previous four meetings in this series. Minnesota has struggled offensively, too, with the Under going 9-4-3 in their past 16 games at XCel, and 3-0-1 in the past four games overall.

Boston Bruins at Minnesota Wild odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Boston Bruins at Minnesota Wild sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Boston Bruins (30-10-12) and Minnesota Wild (23-21-6) lock horns at 8 p.m. ET at Xcel Energy Center. We analyze the Bruins-Wild sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Bruins at Wild: Projected starting goalies

Jaroslav Halak vs. Devan Dubnyk

Halak is expected to man the crease after Tuukka Rask was between the pipes for Friday’s 2-1 win in Winnipeg. Head coach Bruce Cassidy likes to rotate his goalies evenly, especially so with a back-to-back set. Halak is 12-6-6 with a 2.47 goals against average and .918 save percentage with three shutouts.

Dubnyk has managed a 9-12-2 record, 3.28 GAA and .893 save percentage with one shutout overall this season. He has been especially poor against Eastern Conference teams this season, going 2-5-1 with a 4.14 GAA and dismal .865 save percentage.

Bruins at Wild: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 11:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bruins 5, Wild 2

Moneyline (ML)

The BRUINS (-134) can be had at a rather reasonable price, most likely because they’re playing in the second end of a back-to-back. They should be fairly rested after a lengthy all-star break, so playing on consecutive days isn’t as bad as during the regular grind.

The Wild (+110) are coming off a win, but they’re just 2-5 in their past seven games after a victory. Minnesota is also 0-5 in the past five tries against Boston, and 1-4 in its past five tries at home against the B’s.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bruins to win returns a profit of $7.50, while a $10 wager on the Wild results in a profit of $11.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The BRUINS (-1.5, +200) are worth a small-unit play against the struggling Dubnyk, especially since the offense managed just two goals Friday. They should be ready for a breakout performance against a shaky tendy. The Wild (+1.5, -250) are not worth playing either on the moneyline or puck line, as they’re just too shaky lately.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 5.5 (-121) is worth a play, and the B’s have the potential to do it all on their own if the offense is hitting like it’s capable. The Under is 4-1 in Boston’s past five, including Friday’s game, but 3-1-1 in the past five on the road. The Over is also 3-1-1 in the past five overall for the Wild, and 5-1-1 in their past seven following a victory.

Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Dallas Stars (27-16-4) and Minnesota Wild (21-20-6) tangle at the Xcel Energy Center at 9 p.m. ET. We analyze the Stars-Wild sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

Stars at Wild: Projected starting goalies

Ben Bishop vs. Devan Dubnyk

Bishop leads his Stars into the Twin Cities with an impressive 16-10-3 record, 2.22 goals against average and .929 save percentage in his 31 starts so far. He stopped eight of the 10 shots he faced against Wild in the Metroplex back on Oct. 29, but he was pulled after one period in favor of Anton Khudobin by then-coach Jim Montgomery, who felt Bishop wasn’t at the top of his game. Bishop faced the Wild on Dec. 1 in this very building, falling 3-2 in a shootout.

Dubnyk was an All-Star last season, but he limps in with an 8-12-2 record, 3.35 GAA and .892 SV%. He has yet to face the Stars this season. Alex Stalock is 1-1-0 with a 3.38 GAA and .891 SV% in two starts against the Stars this season, and he has a 10-7-3 record, 2.96 GAA and .903 save percentage. He would be the better choice if the Wild elect to go with Stalock.

Stars at Wild: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Stars 3, Wild 2

Moneyline (ML)

The STARS (-134) are 4-1 in their past five road games, and 7-2 in the past nine games overall. They’ve been rolling along, playing solid defense with timely goaltending lately. The Wild (+110), meh, not so much. They’re mired in a 1-4 tailspin, while going 2-5 in the past seven against winning sides. They’re also just 2-6 in the past eight as a home underdog.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The STARS (-1.5, +220) just don’t pile up the offense, and everything is a grind when they’re involved. The Wild (+1.5, -278) can’t be trusted, either, as a late empty-net goal always crushes bettors taking the goal and a half. At nearly three times your return, you can’t afford to roll those dice. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (-150) carries quite a bit of juice, which helps you glean a little bit about what the lean of the oddsmakers is. You can play the alternate line of UNDER 4.5 (+135) if you really like to roll the dice, and come out ahead. If Stalock was the projected netminder, and not the sieve that is Dubnyk, I’d feel a lot more confident about the alternate line.

Minnesota Wild at Arizona Coyotes odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Minnesota Wild at Arizona Coyotes sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (16-14-5) and Arizona Coyotes (20-12-4) do battle at Gila River Arena at 9:30 p.m. ET Thursday. We analyze the Wild-Coyotes sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

Wild at Coyotes: Projected starting goalies

Devan Dubnyk vs. Darcy Kuemper

Dubnyk has won just two of his past seven appearances, and those two victories came against the Coyotes. He allowed three goals on 35 shots in a win in Arizona Nov. 9, and just two goals on 29 shots in a win against the Coyotes on Nov. 14.

Kuemper is 15-7-2 with a .935 save percentage and 1.97 goals against average. He got the win in four of his last five outings while allowing a total of just 10 goals over those five starts.

Wild at Coyotes: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 8:25 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Coyotes 4, Wild 2

Moneyline (ML)

The COYOTES (-149) have won the past two this season against the Wild, who normally dominate this series. Minnesota is 13-6 in the previous 19 meetings overall, including 8-3 in the past 11 trips to Glendale. However, look for the Coyotes to be jacked up with LW Taylor Hall making his home debut. It should be a successful night in the desert for the home side.

New to sports betting? Every $10 wagered for the Coyotes to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout would profit $6.70 if they do so.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The COYOTES (-1.5, +185) on the puck line are a gamble, no doubt, as they’re just .500 at home this season. They’re actually a much better team on the road. But the Coyotes added Hall and will be skating with a lot of extra jump, as they look to hang onto the Pacific Division lead.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (+110) is not a slam-dunk play, but it is 5-1 in the past six games at home and 5-2 as a favorite for Arizona. The Over is also 3-1-1 in Minnesota’s past five against teams with a winning record.

Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Sunday’s Minnesota Wild at Chicago Blackhawks sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Minnesota Wild (16-12-5) visit the Chicago Blackhawks (12-15-6) at the United Center Sunday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Blackhawks sports betting odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Wild at Blackhawks: Projected starting goalies

Kaapo Kahkonen vs. Robin Lehner

Kahkonen has been solid in four starts for the Wild. The 23-year-old Finn did allow five goals in his last game –  a 6-5 home win vs. the Edmonton Oilers Thursday –  but he sports a 2.70 goals against average and a .925 save percentage in 245 minutes overall.

Lehner is 6-6-4 with a 2.86 GAA and .926 SV% in 17 games. He owns a .931 SV% at home. He’s lost his last two starts, both to the Arizona Coyotes, allowing eight goals against 87 shots.

Place a sports bet on this hockey action or other games at BetMGM.

Wild at Blackhawks: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Blackhawks 4, Wild 3

Moneyline (ML)

Both teams played Saturday. Lehner is backing a Chicago lineup down a couple defensemen and one that gives up too many shots. But the Wild have been on the downside of recent shot and Corsi exchanges as well. Minnesota is 0 for its last 18 on the power play and have allowed seven goals in 21 chances on the penalty kill since Dec. 1. The BLACKHAWKS (-110) are the play here.

New to sports betting? An $11 bet on Chicago to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns a profit of $10 … or in other words, every $1.10 wagered on the Blackhawks to win would return a profit of $1 in they do so.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

AVOID since the puck line for Minnesota (+1.5, -304) is full of juice, while Chicago (-1.5 +240) would need to win by at least two goals. Both teams have played a high frequency of one-goal games of late, and there’s more gray area than usual with a freshman netminder.

Betting on the Wild would involve every $3.04 wagered to profit just $1 if they win outright or don’t lose by 2 goals or more. Betting on the Blackhawks would profit $2.40 for every $1 wagered, but they must win by 2 goals or more.

Over/under (O/U)

There is also too much data and too many trends muddied to advise more than a slight lean on the OVER 5.5 (-121).

Minnesota and Chicago rank 15th and 26th, respectively, in goals and eighth and 11th in goals allowed.

Minnesota Wild at Tampa Bay Lightning odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Minnesota Wild at Tampa Bay Lightning sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets

The Minnesota Wild (13-11-4) visit the Tampa Bay Lightning (13-9-3) for a Thursday 7 p.m. ET tilt at Amalie Arena. We analyze the Wild-Lightning odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Lightning: Projected starting goalies

Alex Stalock vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy

Stalock owns a .912 save percentage on the season and a 2.67 goals against average. The 32-year-old has logged a .937 SV% mark over his last two starts. On the down side, Stalock has been much better at home (.946 SV% vs. .892 SV% road).

Vasilevskiy has posted a .908 SV% with a 2.90 GAA through 18 games. That’s a would-be career-low save percentage for the netminder who registered a .923 mark over the last two seasons. Vasilevskiy has not been particularly sharp at home, and he was iffy in two starts against the Wild last season.

Place a sports bet on this hockey action or other games at BetMGM.

Wild at Lightning: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 2 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Minnesota 3, Tampa Bay 2

Moneyline (ML)

The Lightning snapped a three-game losing streak in their last game, a 3-2 OT win at the Nashville Predators Tuesday. All three losses were of the one-goal variety. Tampa Bay had won three in a row – outscoring foes 15-6 before the short skid.

Minnesota comes in having won four straight, including two on the road. The Wild have been on a nice scoring tear, averaging 3.4 goals per game since Nov. 19. They yield too many shots at times, but they do a credible job in an exchange of shots from the slot, a higher-percentage shooting area. With the recents, the netminders and some solid underlying fundamentals, MINNESOTA +170 is the lean here.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered on the Wild will profit $1.70 if they win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The puck line is MINNESOTA +1.5 -154. With the above noted and the fact that Vasilevskiy hasn’t been at his best, the Wild side has some value.

The Wild have done a nice job staying out of the box of late. That’s key against a club like the Lightning, which sports a 29% success rate on power plays (33% last four home games). Minnesota is 9-9 against the puck line on the road; Tampa Bay (-1.5, +125) is 5-6 against the line at home.

Over/under (O/U)

AVOID the O/U 5.5 (-150, +125). I’m not seeing any value here. Game flow predictions could play out on the Under enough to make value hard to find even on a price change.

Minnesota Wild at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tuesday’s Minnesota Wild at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (9-11-4) drive through the Lincoln Tunnel from Manhattan to face the New Jersey Devils (8-10-4) at Prudential Center Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Kaapo Kahkonen vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Kahkonen is making his NHL debut against the Devils. The 23-year old goaltender played 10 games for the AHL’s Iowa Wild and compiled a 2.47 goals against average and .908 save percentage.

Blackwood is looking to rebound from a bad home outing against the Boston Bruins and getting pulled against the Pittsburgh Penguins (four goals allowed in 42-plus minutes) Friday. The New Jersey starter is now 7-6-3 on the season with a 3.07 goals against average and .898 save percentage.

Wild at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Devils 4, Wild 2

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-154) got a couple much needed nights of rest and host a Minnesota team having lost 3-2 against the New York Rangers Monday. The Wild blew a one-goal lead late in the third period then lost quickly in overtime. New Jersey facing a goalie making his NHL debut has driven the line more in the Devils’ favor.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Risking a tiny wager on the DEVILS (-1.5, +180) is the play. Minnesota is just 3-9-2 as an underdog. There is danger here but New Jersey has a rare opportunity against a vulnerable opponent.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-139) is a reasonable play Tuesday. The last three meetings in this series have all connected on the Over.

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $7.19 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Minnesota Wild at New York Rangers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Monday’s Minnesota Wild at New York Rangers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (9-11-3) travel to New York City to face the New York Rangers (10-9-2) at Madison Square Garden Monday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Rangers odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Rangers: Projected starting goalies

Alex Stalock vs. Henrik Lundqvist

Stalock has a 5-3-1 record for Minnesota with a 2.79 goals against average and .908 save percentage. After two very good wins, Stalock allowed five goals to the Boston Bruins Saturday.

Lundqvist has a 5-5-1 record with a 3.37 GAA and .909 save percentage. He allowed four-plus goals in four of his previous five starts.

Wild at Rangers: Odds, picks, and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Rangers 4, Wild 3

Moneyline (ML)

The RANGERS (+100) are offering plus money at home. Minnesota (-120) is one of the league’s worst teams on the road with a record of just 4-10-2. Even with the Rangers’ team defense the way it is, New York should be able to score enough goals to outlast the Wild.

A $10 bet with New York results in a $10 profit with an outright win for the Rangers.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Rangers are second in the league against the spread with a 13-8 mark and they are 8-4 at home. Minnesota has just enough of an offense to keep things close and that causes a good bit of hesitation. The +230 odds for the Wild to win by two or more goals is enticing, but we’ll AVOID this play as we expect the Rangers to win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+125) is worth a tiny wager. It is not a strong bet by any means but this is a Rangers team that can allow four or five goals at home while scoring at the same rate. Needless to say, this game has no in-between. It is either a 2-1 dud or a 4-3 type of contest. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $12.50 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.
