Minnesota Wild at St Louis Blues 4/10/21 - NHL Picks & Predictions

The Wild and the Blues end up playing each other on Friday night which will make for a great back to back game here. The Blues are coming into the game here struggling on the year with a 17-16-6 record on the year. The Wild are coming to the game with a 24-12-2 record on the year.

The last game for Minnesota ended up being a major win with a blowout by an 8-3 score in the game. The Blues for their part were able to break their long losing skid by taking down Vegas in their last game by a 3-1 score. 

Kirill Kaprizov is the leader for the Wild offense with 34 points. Kaprizov has ended up with 16 goals on the year as well. The passing leader for the Wild is Jordan Greenway who has ended up with 19 assist on the year. The goalie who will most likely start the game is Kahkonen who has posted a 12-6-0 record and saved 92% of the shots while giving up 2.34 goals per game.

Saint Louis is coming here relying on David Perron to lead the offense for Saint Louis in almost every category. Perron has ended up with 38 points, but has a total of 13 goals and 25 assist on the year. The goalie who will likely be in net for a back to back game is Husso who is 6-5-1 on the year with only 88.3% of the shots turned away while allowing 3.58 goals per game.

The game here will be a back to back game and the momentum from the night before could help set the tone in the game. The main difference is the discrepancy between the starting net minder for the Blues and the backup. The backup is simply horrible and facing what has become a potent Wild offense will struggle here and that allows Minnesota to lock down the win. Final Score Prediction, Minnesota Wild win 5-2.
