LiontipsWinnipeg vs Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (February 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
Winnipegare one of the most inconsistent clubs in the league this season, and they have slim chances of making the playoffs. At the moment, the hosts are 16 points behind their visitors in the Western Conference standings.
Recently, the Jets lost six games in a row before finally breaking the streak and beating St. Louis (4:1). However, in the following match the Jets suffered yet another defeat, to Philadelphia (1:3). Winnipeg are in poor shape and often run out of strength by the third period.
Minnesota are one of the leaders in the West. They have chalked up 59 points and will probably finish the regular season in one of the top positions in the table. The Wild are currently on a six-game winning streak.
They beat both New York teams away and easily crushed Chicago with a score of 5:0. This was the first game in the season when the Wild didn't concede. Dean Evason's side is one of the highest-scoring in the league - his men average over three gols per game.
