The Wild are coming to this game after getting a win in their last game over the Ducks. The win was impressive for the Wild after losing to the Kings in their last game. The downside is the Wild did not really dominate the game with the final score of 3-1 in the game on the day.

With the win the Wild moved to a 7-6-0 record on the year. With that record the Wild are sitting in 7th place in the West. With the Ducks they are sitting in 6th place in the West, but have ended up with a 6-8-3 record on the year overall.

When it comes to the offense the Wild have ended up getting a total of 2.54 goals per game scored. The power play for Minnesota has ended up getting a total conversion of only 8% on the year. Defensively the Wild have allowed a total of 2.69 goals per game, but have ended up killing off 85.7% of the penalties faced.

For their part the Ducks offense is coming in with a horrible offense with only 1.88 goals per game. The power play for Anaheim is converting at 8.1% on the year. When it comes to the defense the Ducks have ended up killing off 84.8% of the penalties faced, but the defense for Anaheim has allowed only 2.59 goals per game.

The lack of offense from the Ducks will start to catch up with Anaheim as the season wears on. The reason that it will cost the Ducks so many games is the offense for Anaheim will not keep the puck in the offensive zone and that leads to more pressure on the defense for Anaheim. Just like last season the defense for Anaheim will crack and that is what happens in the game here as Minnesota wins. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Wild win 3-1.
