Wild vs Devils predictions
As the Minnesota Wild gear up to face off against the New Jersey Devils, all eyes will be on Matt Boldy, who's truly the heart of the team's offensive charge. With an impressive record of 24 goals this season, you can expect him to bring his A-game to the ice. His ability to set up plays is second to none, as evidenced by his 38 assists, making him a key player to watch. The Wild will rely heavily on Boldy's knack for finding the back of the net and his playmaking prowess if they want to add another victory to their 22-11-3 road record. Will he rise to the occasion against the Devils' defense? That's something fans of the NHL can't wait to see.
Meanwhile, the Devils have their own offensive weapon in Nico Hischier. Fresh off a hat trick and with 33 goals under his belt this season, he seems almost unstoppable at the moment. Then there's Jesper Bratt, who seems to have an uncanny ability to thread the puck to the right spot, amassing an incredible 66 assists and 86 points overall. At the Prudential Center, where the Devils are 17-13-5, this dynamic duo of Hischier and Bratt could prove to be a formidable challenge for Minnesota’s defense. You can bet the Devils will be looking to them to capitalize on any chances and put their mark on the scoreboard once more.
As for the game itself, it sets the stage for a tantalizing showdown. The Devils lead the series 1-0, which gives them a mental edge. Yet, the Wild have a consistent road record that can't be ignored. Will it be the Devils' explosive offense or the Wild’s resilience that emerges victorious? Given Hischier’s recent performance and the Devils’ ability to capitalize on home-ice advantage, I'm leaning toward New Jersey to take this matchup. But don't count out the Wild—this game promises to be a close one, leaving fans on the edge of their seats until the final buzzer.
