Wild vs Oilers predictions
Fresh off a stellar 2-goal performance, Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild is definitely one player to keep an eye on as they head into their matchup against the Edmonton Oilers. Kaprizov's absolute dynamism on ice has been key for the Wild's recent wins, banking a whopping 13 goals this season already. Besides his scoring, his 20 assists showcase his all-round abilities to see the play and make his teammates better. Given his current form and the confidence that must be surging through him lately, it wouldn't be surprising if he were to make significant contributions in the upcoming game.
On the Edmonton side, even though Connor McDavid is listed as day-to-day, the spotlight might just intensify on Leon Draisaitl, who's been nothing short of sensational himself. Leading the Oilers with 14 goals, Draisaitl's ability to find the back of the net will be crucial, especially if McDavid isn’t at full strength. His consistency and knack for making crucial plays could very well be the linchpin for the Oilers, particularly against a strong Wild team. The Oilers will need him to step up even more, dictating play and leveraging his scoring prowess.
Considering the current momentum and the evident prowess on both sides, this game promises to be a thrilling encounter. However, with the Minnesota Wild's impressive road record and Kaprizov's hot streak, they might have a slight edge over the Oilers, especially if McDavid isn’t able to make an impact. Provided the Wild can maintain their form and effectively counter the Oilers' attacks, they seem well-positioned to clinch this matchup at the Rogers Place.
