Minnesota Wild & Detroit Red Wings Squad Analysis
The Red Wings have a lengthy injury list which includes no fewer than nine players. Among the injured is the Wings best forward in Dylan Larkin, who is expected to miss out on this game against the Wild. Larkin is the team’s top scorer with 10 goals and 27 points on the season and joins players such as Tyler Bertuzzi and Filip Zadina who will also be unavailable for the trip to Minnesota. The Wild, on the other hand, are in a much healthier position as they only have two players listed on the official injury report. Ryan Hartman and Brandon Duhaime both look set to miss out here.

Our Minnesota Wild vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction
We’re going to back the Minnesota Wild to continue their winning ways at the expense of the Red Wings and back them to win the game while covering the -1.5 puck line spread. This is an awful spot for Detroit considering the mountain of injuries they have piling up and the fact that they are playing this game with no rest as the second part of a back-to-back having just played on Tuesday. With the Wings problems finding the back off the net lately combined with the Wild’s increased defensive solidity over the past two games, back the home team to win this one comfortably.
