LiontipsMinnesota vs Winnipeg. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 20, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Minnesota Wild may not have been very successful in the preseason, but they looked good in the first two matches of the regular season. First, the Wild beat Anaheim (2:1) and then triumphed over Los Angeles with a score of 3:2.
Minnesota played both games away from home. Kirill Kaprizov is yet to score a goal, but he has already earned points with two assists. The Wild are paying a lot of attention to their defenses and so far, this strategy has been paying off.
The Winnipeg Jets, on the contrary, had a poor start to the season. The Jets were defeated in both games - they failed to cope with Anaheim (1:4) and San Jose (3:4). The Jets had serious problems on the defensive in the last season, but then they were able to compensate with successful actions in the attack.
Dubois didn't make an impression of a forward who can turn around the game by himself. Goaltender Hellebuyck has been unreliable, and the young Comrie is too inexperienced to replace Hellebuyck as the main goalie.
