Minnesota Wild (27-17-4) vs. Arizona Coyotes (16-28-6)
The 2023 NHL All-Star Weekend is over and the regular season continues Monday, February 6, with the Minnesota Wild facing off against the Arizona Coyotes in the Central Division showdown at Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona.
Minnesota and Arizona continue their four-game Central Division series with Game 3, and the Wild aim for their third straight victory over the Coyotes. The visitors open as firm -200 moneyline favorites, while the totals sit at 6.0 goals.
The Minnesota Wild have won their last two games, outlasting the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime and the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in a shootout. However, the Wild are winless in three straight outings away from home, and their last road victory came on January 17 when Minnesota outlasted the Washington Capitals as a -145 moneyline fave, 4-2.
The Wild occupy the third spot in the Central Division, just one point ahead of the Colorado Avalanche. Minnesota scores 3.06 goals per game (tied-19th in the NHL) and allows 2.83 goals in return (tied-10th). Kirill Kaprizov leads the way for the Wild with 27 goals and 32 assists in 48 appearances this season, while Mats Zuccarello has 19 goals and 29 dishes on his tally.
