The Oilers have not had the best of luck against the Wild in recent history, in fact, their last win against Minnesota came back in 2019, and ourOilers vs Wild picks and predictionsshould be fairly well-rested coming into this contest since they haven’t played a game in three nights.
Aside from being tired, the main concern going into this game will be Edmonton’s goaltending. Stuart Skinner started last night against the Blackhawks, which means it is more than likely that Jack Campbell will be in the blue paint tonight.Article content Campbell is off to a dreadful start this season, entering this contest with a record of 7-5-0, but his numbers are absolutely horrendous as he is sporting a .875 save percentage and a 4.04 goals-against average. The lack of goaltending has been a constant theme for the Oilers over the past few seasons and a rested Wild team can really take advantage.
The Wild are starting to heat up and the one area of their game that is particularly buzzing is their power play. They have scored goals on the man advantage in three straight games, converting on four out of their last 10 attempts. As a team, the Wild have really picked up their defensive play as well. They now have the 11th-best goals-against average, letting up 2.90 goals per game.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The Oilers have a ton of top-end talent, but the Wild have more depth and that will make the difference tonight. I think the Wild will win and I like the value on them getting it done in regulation.
