Toronto - Minnesota: betting tip (cf. 1.97) and bets on the NHL match

The Canadians suffered their fourth defeat in a row, losing to Colorado with a score of 3:6. Jim Hiller's team managed to restore equality at the beginning of the final period thanks to Jack Roslovik's puck, but after 51 seconds it was back in the role of catching up. Before that, Darren Raddish and Easton Cowan scored. In the end, the Maple Leafs missed twice more, and Sergei Bobrovsky again failed to save his partners at crucial moments.

Since the beginning of November, Toronto has remained winless. In addition to Colorado, the team lost to New Jersey (0:4), Montreal (2:4) and Utah (2:3). In the last four home meetings, the Canadians have conceded 17 goals, and Bobrovsky has lost five matches in a row. The situation is complicated by injuries to defender Morgan Reilly and several forwards, including Max Domi and Kirill Marchenko. Austin Matthews and William Nylander try to keep up the scoring, but defensive mistakes regularly negate the efforts of the leaders.

Jesper Wallstedt's reliability has become one of the main factors in Minnesota's successful performance. In the previous meeting with Montreal, the Swedish goalkeeper blocked 27 shots, and the team won 2-1 in overtime. Bobby Brink opened the scoring in the third period, but the Canadians restored equality shortly before the siren. In extra time, Kirill Kaprizov converted the majority already in the 21st second and brought the guests two points.

John Hines' team has not lost in regular time for nine matches, having won seven. Earlier, the Wild beat Washington (5:1), Philadelphia (4:2) and San Jose (4:1), and ended the meeting with Tampa Bay with a defeat in overtime (3:4). Kaprizov has already scored 17 goals in the current championship, and Quinn Hughes continues to successfully lead attacks from deep. At the same time, the visitors are without the injured Brock Faber and Filip Gustavsson, but they retain the best defense in the league in terms of the average number of goals conceded.
