Team News
The Minnesota Wild will be looking to respond in the NHL on Wednesday, as they suffered just a second defeat in their previous ten in their last match. That loss was suffered in overtime, meaning that they are yet to lose a game in regulation over their last ten.
Minnesota has won eight over that period, and has accumulated an away record of 15-11-4 this term. A victory on Wednesday would see them move up a few places in the Western Conference standings, and few could bet against them making a charge in the playoffs this term.

The Winnipeg Jets are also a leading contender for the playoff spots in the West this term, as they currently sit eighth in the standings. However, their recent form has been slightly disappointing, as they have picked up just two wins over their last ten games.
The Jets were beaten in their most recent home game earlier this week, as they were outlasted in overtime by the San Jose Sharks. A response will be needed this week if they are to enhance their chances of finishing in the top eight this term.
Picks
This is an interesting showdown in the NHL. However, we will be siding with the in-form Wild to get back on track with a win following their recent setback in overtime.
