Chicago Blackhawks vs Minnesota Wild Prediction: the Wild Will Try to Score Two Points

Prediction for the NHL Chicago Blackhawks vs Minnesota Wild match which will take place on April 11th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Chicago Blackhawks

Chicago has three matches left in the current season, after which this disastrous season can be forgotten, and the team can rest and prepare for the next one. Another question: it is unlikely that many players of the current lineup will continue to play for the Blackhawks since there will undoubtedly be exchanges and acquisitions. Now the Blackhawks are suffering from numerous losses of leading players, which is why in the last 11 games, they have won only once over Calgary - 4:3 and lost ten more times in regular time. Such weak results leave Chicago in last place in the Western Conference.

Minnesota Wild

For Minnesota, the regular season is much better. The Wild officially guaranteed a place in the playoff zone, and now they are trying to get a higher position in the standings. It will be challenging since there are three matches before this part of the season ends. They are two points behind the nearest opponent. So, it is necessary not only to win but also to wait for a mistake from Dallas. Now the Wild could be in better shape, as they have three defeats in the last four meetings, winning only St. Louis 5-3, but the Blues had no motivation.

Expert Betting Tips

Chicago and Minnesota are competitors of entirely different levels at the moment. For the Hawks, the current regular season was a failure. They are in last place in the conference, while in the previous 11 games, they had ten defeats in regular time. The Wild are doing much better. They are in the group of leaders in the West, showing very expressive hockey, so also, we should remember the return of Kirill Kaprizov. 

Do not expect a scoring spectacle from the upcoming confrontation. Chicago and Minnesota have not satisfied us with the performance. In the previous five face-to-face matches, the competitors forced out only 24 goals for two (4.80 on average per game), a modest result for NHL. The Hawks are no longer motivated, so the Wild will try to score two points.
