Wild at Penguins 12/20/18 - NHL Picks & Predictions
The Wild have fallen all the way to 5th place in the division and that is going to be something the Wild need to improve on. The Wild are actually only 6 points away from falling into 6th place and that showcases a lot of the struggles the Wild have had on the year. What else is not helping the Wild is the fact the offense has not really shown up to help the defense out as much as what it should be doing.
The Penguins do need to figure out defense though as Casey DeSmith has been filling in for the injured Murray. DeSmith has been able to win 10 games with a 92.3% saved, but has managed to get a goals against average of 2.49.
Betting Trends for vs
The Wild are going to hope that the Capitals are able to slow down the Penguins on Wednesday and start to slow them down quite a bit. However, the Wild are going to struggle in this game offensively as DeSmith or Murray have both been playing great on the season. Look for the Penguins defense to show up in this game and keep the Wild offense shut down. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Penguins win 2-0.
