Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Main Game Info

Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Moneyline Prediction

The Canadiens are coming off a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. They’ve won seven of their last eight outings. A late comeback by the Winnipeg Jets on November 3 is the only reason why the Habs aren’t riding an eight-game winning streak. They’ve won eight of their last 10 contests (8-0-2).

The Wild, meanwhile, suffered a 4-3 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. Although that result snapped their three-game winning run, their recent form remains strong. Minnesota is 6-1-3 over its last 10 outings and has conceded two or fewer goals in each of its six wins.

While the Canadiens are 3-0-2 in their last five at home, the Wild are on a five-game away winning streak, strengthening Minnesota’s case as the favourite.

Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Projected Starting Goalies

Either goaltender could step up and steal this game, as both have a goals-against average below 2.20 and a save percentage above .920. Their strong performances this season support the possibility of a low-scoring contest.

Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Player Prop

Kirill Kaprizov has been one of the NHL’s most dangerous scorers in the 2026-27 season. He’s tallied 16 goals and 15 assists in 19 appearances, giving him 31 points and an average of 3.21 shots on goal per game. He has also scored five goals in his last eight appearances and found the net in 12 of his 19 outings overall.

Kaprizov receives plenty of ice time (21:32 per game) and has an established role as Minnesota’s first-line left winger at even strength and on the power play.

Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Total Goals Prediction

The Wild have the NHL’s best defence, allowing just 2.26 goals per game, while ranking 13th offensively with 3.32 goals scored. The Canadiens are more balanced, boasting the league’s 10th-best offence (3.47) and 16th-best defence (3.12).

Minnesota’s games average 5.58 total goals, and seven of its last 10 have produced six goals or fewer. The Canadiens’ outings average 6.59 goals, although four of their last eight have also stayed below the 6.5-goal mark. These trends, combined with the strong performances of both teams’ goaltending corps, strengthen the case for the under in what could be a tight, low-scoring contest.

Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Team News and Injury Report

Minnesota Wild Team News and Injury Report

Minnesota will assess Michael McCarron’s (upper body) availability closer to puck drop. If he’s cleared to play, he’s likely to fill a middle-six role. Danila Yurov would move into that spot if McCarron is unavailable.

The Wild are also without two regulars: defenceman Brock Faber (skull) and goaltender Filip Gustavsson (hip). David Spacek and Calvin Pickard are expected to replace them in the lineup.

Minnesota last played on Saturday against the Lightning and has had two full days of rest. This clash marks the beginning of a new road trip following a two-game homestand.

Montreal Canadiens Team News and Injury Report

Montreal will be without Ivan Demidov due to an ankle injury, allowing Alexandre Texier to move into a top-six role and Juraj Slafkovsky to join the top line. The Canadiens are also missing blueliner Mike Matheson (lower body), with Adam Engstrom expected to replace him.

The forward group will also be short on depth, with Jake Evans (hand), Josh Anderson (personal), and Lucas Condotta (undisclosed) unavailable. However, none would be expected to play a major role if available.

The Canadiens last played on Saturday, facing Toronto on the road. They return home for this matchup after two days of rest. This will be their fourth home game in their last five.
