Minnesota vs Los Angeles: prediction for the NHL game
Minnesota lock horns with Los Angeles in the NHL on Saturday night. Can the hosts win this game? Here's our prediction.
Command Analysis
Minnesota Wild
USAMinnesotahave a very powerful team and can become one of the leaders in the West this season. A lot is expected from the Wild due to their excellent performance last year, so the players and the coach are under a lot of pressure. In the opening game of the season, Minnesota lost to the Rangers (3:7). The team was unreliable on defense and couldn't stop New York's attacks.
Los Angeles Kings
USALast season, Los Angeles barely made it into the playoffs, but that still was a big achievement for the team. In the preseason, the Kings looked poor, and their first two games in the regular season ended in defeats. Los Angeles lost to Vegas (3:4) and Seattle (1:4). McLellan will likely give Cal Petersen a shot in the upcoming game and bench Quick.
