LiontipsMinnesota - New Jersey: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
After an unsuccessful end to the away series and a dry defeat from Dallas (0:3), Minnesota returned to the home arena, where it faced another clear favorite. The Wild hosted Vegas and were unable to give a decent rebuff to one of the strongest clubs in the Western Conference, suffering a defeat with a score of 1:5. The defensive line played very poorly, which allowed the Golden Knights to create a huge number of dangerous moments in their zone. Goalkeeper Fleury couldn't handle so many shots, deflecting only 89% of them.
It seemed that the savages would continue to lose points, as in the next match they had to fight the leader of the Eastern Conference, Washington. This time the goal was defended by Gustavson, who played very reliably, which made it possible to cope with the constant pressure of the capitals and win an unexpected victory (4:2). Also, it is impossible not to mention the striker Gaudreau, who scored a double. Minnesota is still confidently taking its place in the playoff zone and is currently in seventh place with 87 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Four players remain in the Minnesota infirmary: Chisholm, Eriksson, Irzicek and Kaprizov.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Minnesota concedes 2.8 goals per game.
- The savages completed 20.5% of the majority attempts
Current form
New Jersey still cannot cope with its prolonged recession, which has caused it to lose a huge number of points. The team could not achieve success for three consecutive matches, and playing on the home arena, where it was close to victory only in a duel with Vancouver. The hosts allowed the killer whales to equalize just 40 seconds before the final whistle, and then lost in a shootout (3:4). The devils were able to break the streak of failures only in a match with one of the main outsiders of the league, in the person of Chicago, having snatched Victoria in regular time (5:3). Once again, defender Hughes was the most productive, giving three assists.
After a successful result, the club went to visit the leader of the Western Conference, in the person of Winnipeg, where predictably it was defeated again, without scoring a single goal (0-4). In addition to the attacking line, goalkeeper Alain also played poorly, reflecting only 78% of shots. Despite the large number of unsuccessful performances, the club still remains on the sixth line in the table, as it had a serious margin of safety.
Disqualifications and injuries
Glass, Hamilton, Hughes and Siegenthaler remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, New Jersey concedes 2.65 goals per game.
- The Devils receive an average of 8.4 penalty minutes per match.

1.63Tip and bets
Minnesota is the favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are certain reasons. The team has shown that it is able to cope even with clear favorites, which means that it has excellent chances of success in the match with the Devils. Indeed, New Jersey continues to be in terrible shape and is unlikely to be able to show its best on the road. So we suggest not to take any chances and bet in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our prediction is that Minnesota will win the match in 1.79
Bet on the total
But you should not expect a large number of abandoned goals in the upcoming match. Both teams have a good defensive game and are unlikely to show their full attacking potential. So there is a great opportunity to choose the total less as the second bet.
The betting tip is a total of less than 5.5 goals in 1.80
Betting on the outcome of the first period
It is worth noting that Minnesota's first period was far from the most successful. The team quite often allows its opponents to earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment, which the Devils will also try to take advantage of.
Betting Tip - New Jersey won't lose in the first period in 1.45
