One of the NHL games that is expected to be very slow-paced on next Thursday night schedule corresponds to the clash between Montreal Canadiens and Minnesota Wild, as both teams haven’t shown a great offensive performance throughout the season. Despite this, the bookmakers’ odds are putting Montreal as slightly favorites to win this game.
Nonetheless, the favoritism label put on Montreal Canadiens couldn’t be enough for them to cut off a streak of 3 losses in a row, in which they looked totally inoperant when attacking. In addition, it mustn’t be ignored that the Canadiens haven’t been able to score more than 3 goals in regulation time since their 5-4 overtime victory over New York Rangers, which was achieved 10 days ago.
Meanwhile, Minnesota Wild recently got very positive results after defeating Chicago Blackhawks and Toronto Maple Leafs when playing away, so even if they aren’t considered as big favorites to win this game, they at least are expected to successfully compete against the Canadiens. Most of that expectation is because the Wild was able to score 4 or more goals during their last 3 games in a row.

Our Montreal Canadiens vs Minnesota Wild Prediction
To sum up, even when their latest confrontation offered a big amount of 7 scored goals, it’ll be truly difficult for them to get over that line again due to the great offensive issues they’ve had during the current season.
