Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs Main Game Info

Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs Moneyline Prediction

The Wild extended their run without a regulation loss to nine games with a 2-1 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday, bouncing back from a 4-3 defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Minnesota has won seven of its last nine outings (7-0-2) and extended its road winning streak to six.

The Maple Leafs, meanwhile, suffered a fourth consecutive loss in a 6-3 defeat to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday. Toronto has lost all four games of its current homestand and has dropped seven of its last 10 at Scotiabank Arena (3-6-1). The team has also gone 4-6-0 over its last 10 games overall.

Toronto has struggled on home ice, while Minnesota has been outstanding on the road. That should be enough to make the Wild favourites.

Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs Projected Starting Goalies

Minnesota has a significant advantage in the goaltending matchup. Wallstedt has the second-best GAA in the league among goaltenders with at least 10 starts and can steal the game. Anthony Stolarz could get the nod between the pipes amid a difficult season for Sergei Bobrovsky, who has allowed at least three goals in each of his last six starts, posting a 4.07 GAA and .855 save percentage over that span.

Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs Player Prop

Kirill Kaprizov delivered when the Wild needed him most in Tuesday’s win over the Canadiens, scoring the game-winning goal in overtime. The Russian winger has been highly productive, finding the net in six of his last nine games and in 13 of his 20 appearances overall. He’s tallied 17 goals and 32 points.

Firmly established on the top line and the first power-play unit, and averaging a substantial 21:29 of ice time per game, he should have plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net again. Toronto presents a favourable matchup, as the Maple Leafs have the 10th-highest xGA (41.90).

Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs Total Goals Prediction

The Wild rank 14th in scoring with 3.25 goals per game, but have been an elite defensive unit, allowing a league-best 2.20 goals per game. The Maple Leafs are 12th in goals scored (3.35) but have been far less effective defensively, conceding 3.45 goals, 24th in the NHL.

Each of Toronto’s last eight games and four of Minnesota’s last six have gone over 5.5 total goals. The bet has also landed in their previous two head-to-head meetings in 2025-26. With both offences ranking above average, expect enough chances at both ends of the ice to push this clash over the 5.5-goal line.

Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs Team News and Injury Report

Minnesota Wild Team News and Injury Report

The Wild are missing a key contributor on defence, as Brock Faber remains on the injured reserve with a skull injury. Without Faber, Jared Spurgeon has been playing alongside Quinn Hughes on the top pairing.

They’re also without goalie Filip Gustavsson (hip), although even if he’s close to returning, he’s expected to be the No. 2 option behind Wallstedt.

The Wild last played on Tuesday against the Canadiens, so they’ll have just one day of rest before this matchup. This is the second game of a three-game road trip.

Toronto Maple Leafs Team News and Injury Report

The Maple Leafs are thin on depth because of several injuries. The lengthy list includes forwards Kirill Marchenko and Colton Sissons, along with blueliners Marshall Rifai and Morgan Rielly, all sidelined with lower-body injuries. Centre Max Domi (back) is also out.

Players such as Teddy Blueger, Vinni Lettieri, Zack MacEwen, and Dakota Joshua are taking on bigger roles up front. Meanwhile, Dakota Mermis and Cole McWard have also assumed more prominent roles and increased ice time on the blue line.

This will be Toronto’s fifth straight game at Scotiabank Arena, with its homestand ending on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. Like Minnesota, the team played on Tuesday and will have just one day of rest.
