Minnesota Wild vs New York Islanders Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 04/04/25

The Minnesota Wild continue a road trip through the Metropolitan Division with a battle against the New York Islanders. While Minnesota is currently comfortable in a playoff spot, they do not have a position locked in and have posted a 1-3-2 record in their past 6 games. Their opponent in New York has been struggling even worse, with a 0-4-2 record in its last 6. Who can break their slump with a win? Here is a Wild vs Islanders predictions.

A trend between these 2 teams has been their lack of defense. New York has given up 24 goals in the last six games, while Minnesota has given up 23. This is a major reason that the wins have not been there, but with both teams extremely hungry and desperate for a win, I think we see some lockdown efforts for a change. Neither offense has been particularly strong offensively as of late, or even throughout the season. Scoring forwards Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson-Ek are still out with injury which hinders Minnesota’s offense, and New York has been struggling offensively for years with the current regime of players. Both teams are within the bottom-8 in goals per game, and I expect this trend to continue in what should be a hard-fought but low-scoring match. Im taking Under 5.5 for this Wild vs Islanders prediction.
