It was late November when these teams last met. The Minnesota Wild (29-14-10) took that game in overtime against the Chicago Blackhawks (21-23-8).
The Wild fought back from an early 2-0 deficit and again when trailing 3-2 midway through the 3rd period. It took less than 2 minutes in the overtime period for Kirill Kaprizov to find the back of the net and give the Wild that previous win. The Wild lost their latest game. They fell to the Florida Panthers on Saturday, 4-3, in overtime. Kirill Kaprizov’s 1 goal and 1 assist performance was all for not in the loss. Filip Gustavsson allowed 4 goals on 34 shots. That was the 4th straight start for him, allowing 3 or more goals. The loss was their 5th in the last 8 games for the Wild.
Things have not gone well for the Blackhawks lately, either. Chicago has lost 5 of their last 7, and with a loss here against Minnesota, it will begin a 3-game losing streak. During this 7-game stretch, the Blackhawks are averaging just 1.7 goals per game. They are not going to win many games with offensive outputs like that in the NHL.
With both teams fumbling through the month, this one could be determined by which team makes the least number of mistakes. The Wild will have the advantage there as they are 3rd in the league with least amount of penalty minutes.

Our Minnesota Wild vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction
The Blackhawks are due to break out a bit on the offensive end. What better time than against a team that has played to the over in 14 of their last 15 games? We believe the scoring will come early and often in this contest. They combined for 7 total goals in their last meeting, and we expect a similar offensive output on Tuesday night.
Our prediction for Minnesota Wild vs Chicago Blackhawks: Over 6.5
