Wild vs. Capitals Prediction: Confirmed Wallstedt Start Points to a Pass

Analysis updated November 1, 2026 at 7:18 AM CST

Minnesota has more certainty in net, but Washington is the slight moneyline favorite and its starting goalie remains unconfirmed.

Wallstedt gives Minnesota an edge in net

Daily Faceoff, an NHL lineup and goalie-tracking site, confirms Jesper Wallstedt as Minnesota’s starter for the November 1 game in Washington. Wallstedt is listed at 8-2-3 with a 2.14 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage.

Washington’s Logan Thompson remains unconfirmed. That makes Minnesota the more likely winner, but the SPF moneyline lists the Wild at -108 and the Capitals at -112, so Washington is the slight favorite.

Betting view

Wallstedt’s numbers support a lean toward Minnesota, but there are no verified team records, recent results, injury updates or line movement to show that the Wild are worth backing at -108. The listed 50-50 betting split is a default figure and offers no useful signal.

The Wild are listed at -1.5 on the puck line, but no price is available. Pass on both the moneyline and puck line.
