Minnesota Wild vs New York Rangers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Wednesday, 04/02/25

Wednesday in the NHL brings us a battle between the New York Rangers and Minnesota Wild. This matchup brings two teams from different conferences who are in need to these points, as they are both within fierce playoff positioning battles. Minnesota is holding on to a six-point cushion, but multiple teams below them have games in hand. As for New York, they are not currently in a playoff spot but are one of many Eastern Conference teams battling for a spot. This is an important game, and we are here with our Wild vs. Rangers predictions.

Neither team has necessarily risen to the occasion as of late, as they have combined for 3 wins in the last 12 combined games. Desperate times has yet to drive one of these teams to the next level, so we may be in or an evenly matched affair. A consistent trend between the two has been their strong ability to keep the puck out of the net. Minnesota has given up just 19 goals in their past 8 games (2.37), while New York has allowed 24 goals in regulation in their past 10 games (2.4 per game). Goaltending has been solid, but it has really come down to structured play throughout each lineup, with added effort due to every goal being much more important this time of the year. Neither team has done well offensively this season, s they are both well outside the top ten in the category. This could be a dog fight that goes down to the wire, and I am expecting a low-scoring result. For our Wild vs. Rangers prediction, take the under 5.5.
