- Detroit Red Wings won 3-2 when the two teams last met in February 2025
Detroit Red Wings Form
Detroit head to Minnesota having recorded their seventh win in their last eight games just last night.
The Red Wings began 2026 with back-to-back defeats to Pittsburgh, losing 4-3 in overtime on the road and 4-1 in regulation at home, but they have turned things around since then.
They got back on track with a 5-3 victory in Ottawa, and backed that up as they beat Vancouver 5-1 at home, Montreal 4-0 on the road and Carolina 4-3 in overtime at home.
Detroit’s run was finally ended by a 3-0 defeat in Boston, but they responded to that setback by reeling off three more wins.
The Red Wings beat San Jose 4-3 and Ottawa 4-3 in regulation at home, before heading to Toronto to down the Maple Leafs 2-1.
Minnesota Wild Form
Minnesota enter this matchup having made an underwhelming start to 2026 with six defeats in 10 games.
The Wild began the year with a 5-2 victory in Anaheim, but failed to follow that up in Los Angeles as they lost back-to-back meetings with the Kings, 5-4 and 4-2.
They rallied in Seattle to beat the Kraken 3-2 in overtime, only to then return home and lose three straight, falling 4-3 in overtime to the New York Islanders, 5-2 to New Jersey and 6-2 to Winnipeg.
Minnesota stopped the rot with a 5-4 overtime success in Buffalo, and backed that up in Toronto as they downed the Maple Leafs, 6-3.
The Wild failed to make it three wins in a row though, as they lost 4-3 in Montreal last time out.
Verdict
Minnesota have home advantage here, but Detroit offer plenty of appeal as they underdog.
The Red Wings are the team in better form, and the last time they visited St Paul they left with the ‘W’.
