Jets vs Wild Key Stats
Winnipeg's offense have been decent with 50 goals in 17 games. They need more players to start contributing on offense as Josh Morrissey, who plays as a defender has most goal involvements with 15 assists to his credit. This is a concerning situation, given the competitiveness level of the league.
Their defense has filled the void left by the offensive unit and has won them games by conceding just 2.41 goals per game this season. The defenders look settled coming into the game and will be the key to their success.
Minnesota's offense has not performed as per expectations this season and is one of the major reasons for their poor performances so far. With just 2.6 goals per game so far this season, the offense has provided nearly nothing for the team to defend. Kirill Kaprizov, who leads the team's scoring charts, could only earn more than a point this season.
Their defense has been decent and they are maintaining the goals conceded per game on average to less than three. Goaltenders should be credited for their hard work, but need a lot more from their defense to finish their season better.
Jets vs Wild Betting Prediction
Minnesota's offensive record puts them at a disadvantage with less than 10 goals scored in their last four games.Their defense has failed to keep it tight at the back, making them vulnerable in this game.
Winnipeg's offense has fared better and is likely to exploit Minnesota's defense to score better in this game. Their defense will add more to their strength and is likely to help them cover the spread in this game.
Prediction: Take, Winnipeg, 0.5(+132)
