Minnesota Wild vs Ottawa Senators Prediction: We expect Minnesota to win this one

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs Ottawa Senators match will occur on December 30. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Minnesota has come out of crisis mode. Before the Christmas break, the Wild looked out of sorts, especially after their excellent start to the season. However, John Hynes' men went into the break in good spirits, beating Chicago 4:3 and then beating Dallas 3:2 in overtime. Minnesota is third in the Western Conference with 48 points and has a good chance of going to the top of the standings - they just need to improve and avoid mistakes.

On the other hand, Ottawa has ridden a six-game winning streak after a poor start to the season. It has allowed the Senators to climb into the playoff zone, and they are still there. On the eve of the break, Travis Green's men had a bad game against Edmonton (3:1) and then lost to Winnipeg (4:2) after the break. So, Ottawa's winning streak has been interrupted, but the fans shouldn't get too upset - it's still quite unusual to see them in the playoff zone.

We expect Minnesota to win this one. After a slump, the Wild returned to their senses with two big wins. On the other hand, Ottawa has lost two in a row after a great run. The record is in the Wild's favor. After all, it's not for nothing that they've taken three of the last four. Even the absence of Kirill Kaprizov shouldn't stop the home side from pleasing their fans—we're backing them to win.
