LiontipsMinnesota vs Edmonton. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (December 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
Minnesota are outside the playoffs zone, but they have improved their performance lately and got three victories in the last four games. At home, the Wild crushed Winnipeg (6:1), lost to Toronto (3:4), and got a hard-fought victory over Arizona (4:3). This season, the Wild usually win by one goal only or outside regulation, even when they play at home. The team is in good physical form and looks great in third periods.
Edmonton have just two points more than Minnesota. They are also inconsistent and haven't won more than two games in a row for about a month. Nevertheless, in two of the last three matches, the Oilers were successful. After a victory over the Rangers (4:3), they defeated Florida (4:3 ОТ). Connor McDavid is excellent this season - he has already earned 39 points.
Tip and bets
Minnesota are a very uncomfortable opponent for Edmonton. The Oilers will be playing their second game in two days, so they might be a bit tired physically, and Minnesota should take advantage of that.
Our prediction - Minnesota to win
Previous head-to-head games were often high-scoring. As both sides prefer an open brand of hockey, we recommend taking the over here.
Second bet - total over 6.5 goals
