Minnesota Wild vs Carolina Hurricanes: Battle of Equal Teams

Our prediction for the Minnesota Wild vs Carolina Hurricanes match, which will take place on December 15. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Minnesota Wild didn't have a very successful last tour.  In their last four games, the Wild had two wins and two losses. Thus, the club lost four points and the difference between them and second-placed Nashville Predators narrowed considerably. If Minnesota Wild continues to lose, they risk missing out on the top spot in the Central Division standings. In their last meeting, they lost to Vegas Golden Knights with a score of 4:6.

After a disappointing defeat, Carolina won four games in a row - over Buffalo (6:2), over Winnipeg (4:2), over Calgary (2:1) including overtime, and over Edmonton (3:1). However, that winning streak was interrupted due to the defeat in the last game against Vancouver Canucks (1:2). The Hurricanes are in the fight for the lead in the Metropolitan Division. They are one point behind Washington Capitals.

In this pair, it is quite difficult to decide on a favourite as both teams have recently shown good results. Minnesota returns to their home arena after a four-match tour, while Carolina will play their fifth away game in a row. We believe it's best to play for goals in this match. Prediction: Total Over (5.5).
