The Wild have been playing not up to the level they reached last season. However, the Wild are a team that has really started to look like they can play better. The downside is the Wild are a team that has missed out on a lot of the offensive production they need to have to help them in getting the wins on the season.

The Wild have really struggled on the road this year as they have only managed to get 7 road wins. What else does not help the Wild out is the fact the offense has only been able to score 2.47 goals a game on the road, but the team is giving up 3.00 goals a game. Winnipeg has been able to build up a lot of the momentum they had last year at home again this season. The Jets have only lost 5 games on the road and have been able to win a total of 13 games on the home ice. A big factor that has helped with this is the fact the whiteout aspect has been able to help the Jets out quite a bit in the game.

When the Jets are playing at home the offense has been able to score a total of 3.70 goals a game. The defense is playing at a high level as well with a defense that has given up only 2.75 goals a game.

The Jets have been a team that has played amazing at home with a total of a goal better than allowed on average. The Wild have struggled on the road as the offense seems to stop producing goals at all. What else does not help the Wild out is the fact they are 0-6 in the last 6 against the Western Conference and that is going to make a difference here as the Wild struggle to score and the Jets defense shuts them down. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Jets win 4-2.
