| Minnesota Wild | +118 |
It has been a below par start to the new NHL campaign for the New York Rangers.
However, confidence would have been gained following a welcome win on the road against the Canadiens over the weekend. New York powered to victory in the final period after scoring three times in Canada.
Artemi Panarin was the standout star after scoring once and registering three assists. The other goals in the victory were scored by Mika Zibanejad, J. T. Miller, and Matthew Robertson.
It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the Minnesota Wild, as they have suffered defeats in each of their last three games since a shootout success against the LA Kings.
Their most recent loss was suffered on the road against the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Wild took the lead in the second frame following Vladimir Tarasenko's goal. However, they conceded in the final frame, before eventually allowing the game-clinching effort in the overtime period.
| TOTAL | Wild | Rangers | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 36 | 15 | 21 | - |
| GOALS | 220 | 108 | 112 |
It has been a challenging period on the road for the Wild, and things may not get much better in the Big Apple on Monday.
The Rangers have won just under 65% of their home games against the Wild, and that could be a trend worth following when making Wild vs. Rangers picks this week.
