Minnesota Wild at Los Angeles Kings Preview & Picks
The Over is tipped to cash in this clash of Western Conference rivals.
The two teams have split the previous two meetings this season, but the one consistent outcome of those games has been the pair going over the total.
- The Over cashed in the 2 previous meetings this season
- The Over has hit in each of Minnesota’s previous 5 games
- The Over has cashed in each of Los Angeles’ last 4 games
- The home team has won the 2 previous meetings this season
Head To Head
- Minnesota Wild lead the all-time series 44-30-16
- Los Angeles Kings won 5-4 via a shootout when the two teams last met on January 3
Minnesota Wild Form
Minnesota go into the second game of this double-header with Los Angeles having now lost four of their last seven games.
The Wild enjoyed a red-hot run in the middle of December as they reeled off seven consecutive victories, but their form tailed off before Christmas Day.
Their streak was ended by a 5-1 loss to Edmonton, and they then suffered a 3-2 overtime defeat to Nashville before rallying on the road with a 4-3 overtime success in Winnipeg.
Minnesota backed that up by winning 5-2 in Vegas, only to then suffer a 4-3 shootout defeat when they visited San Jose.
The Wild responded with a 5-2 victory in Anaheim, but they quickly returned to losing ways on Saturday night as they lost a shootout to the Kings, 5-4.
Los Angeles Kings Form
Los Angeles enter this matchup on the back of a win over Minnesota, but in poor form with eight defeats in their last 11 games.
The Kings’ rough run started in the middle of December as they lost back-to-back overtime games to Seattle, 3-2, and Calgary, 2-1, before falling 4-1 in Dallas and 3-2 at Florida.
They avoided a fifth straight loss with a 2-1 success in Tampa, only to then return home and lose 3-1 to Columbus and 3-2 to Seattle.
Los Angeles wrapped up that home stand with a 6-1 victory over Colorado, but again failed to back up a victory as they lost 5-2 in Colorado and 5-3 at home to Tampa.
The Kings did end last week on a positive note however, as they won the first half of this double-header with Minnesota via a shootout, 5-4.
Verdict
One thing has been a common occurrence in meetings this season – close games with plenty of goals.
And with both teams struggling for form right now, this could be another high-scoring shootout that goes over the total.
