Minnesota Wild
Moneyline Pick: Washington -160: Grade A-

Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals enter this showdown on a robust four-game roll, putting them in prime position to outmaneuver a Wild team riding a tough two-game slide. Although both lineups look mostly healthy, Minnesota still feels the impact of a missing top-six forward, tilting the offensive edge to Washington’s side. Historically, the Capitals have prevailed in key battles on the road against Western Conference foes, bolstering their momentum for this tilt. Given Washington’s potent leadership and recent success, laying the juice on the favorite is a solid option with an A- confidence rating, offering strong potential for a worthwhile return. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (+120) - B+


Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals (47-15-9) roll into this matchup on a four-game tear, while the Wild (40-27-5) have dropped their last two contests, setting the stage for an offense-heavy tilt. After confirming both teams’ active rosters using ESPN, John Carlson remains a day-to-day concern for Washington, but Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello are good to go for Minnesota. The Wild historically struggle to stifle the Capitals’ top line, which often dominates in interconference clashes. With a considerable return if the Over cashes, this wager earns a solid B+ grade for potential value. Brace for a barrage from these high-powered offenses! Odds and availability are subject to change.

Puckline Pick: Wild, +1.5 (-195) - A-

Kirill Kaprizov continues to power the Minnesota Wild, who just had their four-game winning streak snapped in a tight loss, while the Washington Capitals carry a three-game surge built on strong goaltending and clutch scoring. After confirming active rosters, Minnesota anticipates Jonas Brodin’s questionable status due to a lingering lower-body issue, whereas Washington remains concerned about T.J. Oshie’s absence. Historically, Minnesota has thrived on the road against Metropolitan opposition, adding more allure to taking the Wild +1.5. This wager’s grade of A- reflects both its high likelihood of success and solid payout potential. Go Wild with your spread pick tonight. Odds and availability are subject to change.
