Wild Worth Backing

The prediction is that the Wild will outscore the Sabres, with 1.70 currently available on the Moneyline. That looks a price worth taking on this value selection.

1-0 Victory for Wild in Pair’s Previous H2H

Buffalo Sabres lost on the road in their previous game. Utah Hockey Club won 5-2 at Delta Center. John-Jason Peterka and Ryan McLeod each scored one goal.

Minnesota Wild last game was a 4-0 home win. This victory over Seattle Kraken at Xcel Energy Center made it back-to-back victories. Matthew Boldy scored twice, with Liam Oehgren and Ryan Hartman netting one goal. For the shutout, Filip Gustavsson made 34 saves.

The Wild beat the Sabres in their last head-to-head encounter. It was a 1-0 scoreline at KeyBank Center. It’s been six the Sabres wins in the past 9 games beween these teams.
