The Minnesota Wild (22-14-3) face the New York Rangers (22-12-7) Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wild vs. Rangers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Wild have been hard to figure out lately. Minnesota is 2-1-1 in the last 4 games, but it’s been feast or famine on offense. The Wild scored 5 goals in 3 straight outings from Dec. 31 to Jan. 7, but Minnesota was blanked by St. Louis and its backup goalie at home on Sunday 3-0.
The Rangers grabbed a point in a 4-3 overtime loss at New Jersey Saturday, and the offense is good for 3 or more goals in 4 consecutive outings, going 3-0-1 during the span. New York has won 4 in a row against the Western Conference, too.
