Game outlook

Minnesota is on the road playing Winnipeg at the Canada Life Centre stadium on Tuesday, 12/27/2022 @ 8:00pm EST. Minnesota -120 was the opening favorite and current line is Minnesota -115.

On Tuesday night, the Winnipeg Jets (21-1 2-1) will try to snap their two-game losing streak against the Minnesota Wild (19-12-2). After losing 4-1 to Washington, the Jets are coming off a bye week. Following a 5-2 loss to San Jose, the Wild are looking to bounce back. Winnipeg is 6-4-0 in Minnesota's last 10 games.

The Sharks snapped the Wild's six-game winning streak in their last game. They will try to rebound from the loss by beating the Jets, giving them their seventh win in eight games. In Minnesota, 3.12 goals are scored per game on average. In their last game, they scored two goals on 26 shots.

Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello each scored a goal for the Wild, while Jon Merrill and Kirill Kaprizov assisted. Additionally, Minnesota has played well defensively, giving up 2.85 goals per game. If they want to win, they will need to put up a significantly better effort than in their last game.

A third consecutive home win for the Jets

Kevin Stenlund scored the Jets' lone goal, while Karson Kuhlman and Axel Jonsson-Fjallby assisted. Despite giving up 2.59 goals per game, Winnipeg has played well defensively. In their last game, they conceded four goals and will have to improve if they want to win this one. David Rittich saved 23 of the 26 shots he faced. In nine games, he has a GAA of 2.61 and a save percentage of .906 at 5-4-0.

Six of the Wild's last seven games have been won at home, and two of their last three games have been won on the road. In four of their last five games, they have scored at least four goals. On special teams, they have converted over 23 percent of their power play opportunities. Normally, the Jets play well defensively, but they have had a difficult time stopping the Wild in their last four games, giving up 11 goals. Three of the Jets' last four games have been losses, and the last four games at home have been split. They usually play well offensively, but have struggled in recent games, scoring just 10 goals in four games. As a team, the Wild have given up 10 goals in their last five games, which is very good defensively . Go with Minnesota to cover the money line after giving up one goal to the Jets in their first game.
