Edmonton Oilers vs Minnesota Wild Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/15/25

The Edmonton Oilers and Minnesota Wild meet on Wednesday in the NHL as part of a quiet, two-game slate. These Western Conference opponents have met twice, resulting in a 5-3 November win for Minnesota, and a 7-1 December win for Edmonton. Who will claim the bragging rights in the final matchup of the regular season? Our Oilers vs. Wild predictions will help us find out.

Both teams have been strong as of late, with the Wild going 5-2-0 in their last seven games, and the Oilers going 6-1-0 in their last seven games. Even though the Wild are at home, this is anyone’s game. In two games against each other, each one finished with 8 goals scored. While we may not see another 8, I still expect a high-scoring affair. The Wild only scored 1 goal the last time they met, but they will be digging deep for revenge after being embarrassed in their December matchup. Furthermore, they are averaging over 3 goals per game overall, and Edmonton hasn’t been all-worldly defensively. As for the Oilers, they clearly have the Wild figured out, as they have dropped 10 goals on them in 2 games. Even if the Wild can have a bounce-back effort, the Oilers are too stacked on offense to show minimal results. For this game, I see both teams finding the back of the net multiple times, so for our Oilers vs. Wild prediction, lean on the over 5.5.

Oilers vs. Wild prediction: Over 5.5 (-125) available at time of publishing. Playable to 6.0 goals, up to (-140).
