Game Preview
A potentially crucial clash in the playoff chase in the Western Conference is set for Tuesday, as the Minnesota Wild bid to get their form back on track after dropping to three straight defeats.
Their overall form across their last ten indicates their loss of confidence, as they have recorded just four wins. Last time out, the Wild were easily beaten at home by the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs, shipping four goals.
Vladimir Tarasenko was one of the only bright sparks in the defeat, scoring twice from four shots on goal.
A playoff challenge already looks to be out of reach for the Blackhawks, who have failed to kick on following a reliable start to the campaign. Chicago have gone 25-30-11 this season, but they have registered just three victories in their last ten outings in the NHL.
Over the same period, Chicago have suffered five defeats in regulation, which includes a heavy 4-0 loss against the Vegas Golden Knights last time out. The Blackhawks failed to create many scoring opportunities in that defeat, indicating a loss of form in the offensive areas.
Chicago Blackhawks vs. Minnesota Wild Picks
The Blackhawks have been unreliable in the NHL since the turn of the year. Therefore, the smart play is to side with the Wild bouncing back to winning form at the United Center.
