Utah - Minnesota: betting tip (cf. 1.60) and bets on the NHL match

Dmitry Simashev became the main character of Utah's previous meeting with Tampa Bay, which ended with a 5-4 overtime victory for the hosts. The Russian defender scored his first two goals in the NHL, and the second proved decisive. During the second period, Mammoth lost 2:4, but managed to rectify the situation. First, Anders Lee reduced the gap, and then Simashev restored equality. In extra time, the defender successfully completed Barrett Hayton's pass and brought the team victory. Kyler Yamamoto and Dylan Gunther also scored.

At the same time, the reliability of Utah's defense raises serious questions. In the last five matches, the team conceded 21 goals, and in two meetings allowed the opponents to score six times. In particular, Mammoth lost to Edmonton (2:6), and then lost to Seattle (3:5). But things are getting much more interesting ahead. Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley are regularly involved in organizing attacks, and Dylan Gunther remains one of the main finishers. The team is particularly effective on its own court, where it is able to score four or five goals even against serious opponents.

The last trip to Vancouver turned out to be special for Quinn Hughes. The defender played in his former home arena for the first time after moving to Minnesota and scored a goal and an assist. The abandoned puck was his 500th NHL point. The Wild won 4-2, and led by three goals after two periods. Maxim Shabanov, Bobby Brink and Kirill Kaprizov also scored. Goalkeeper Calvin Picard had a successful match, and the guests were especially confident in the second twenty minutes.

This was the second consecutive victory for John Hines' team. Before the trip to Vancouver, Minnesota defeated Seattle 5-1, and Blake Coleman scored a double. However, earlier there were defeats from Calgary (1:2) and Edmonton (3:4 OT). Kirill Kaprizov continues to be the main leader of the attack, while Juel Eriksson Ek and Matt Baldy regularly create chances ahead. At the same time, Minnesota is much more attentive near its own goal than the upcoming opponent. In the previous two meetings, the team conceded only three goals and significantly improved their results.
