Wild vs. Canadiens Prediction: Minnesota’s Defense Makes It the Likely Winner
Analysis updated November 10, 2026 at 7:19 AM CST
The Wild are favored at -125, but Montreal’s 8-0-2 run leaves too little value to bet Minnesota before the starting goalies are confirmed.
Minnesota’s defense is the clearest edge
AllSportData lists Minnesota at 12-3-4 and Montreal at 11-3-3 entering Tuesday’s game at Centre Bell. The Wild have allowed 2.26 goals and 25.63 shots per game, compared with 3.12 goals and 28.29 shots allowed by the Canadiens. Minnesota also has a 26.9% power play, well above Montreal’s 15.4%. Those differences make the Wild the more likely winner.
Montreal’s recent form makes Minnesota’s -125 moneyline difficult to bet. The Canadiens are 8-0-2 in their past 10 games, while the Wild are 6-1-3. Montreal has scored at least three goals in five straight games, and Minnesota has reached that mark in eight straight, so neither team offers a clear case for the total of 6.5.
Unconfirmed goalies limit the betting case
Jesper Wallstedt is Minnesota’s expected starter, and Jacob Fowler is expected for Montreal, but neither goalie is confirmed. Wallstedt has a .922 save percentage and 1.99 goals-against average in 16 games. Fowler has a .925 save percentage and 2.15 goals-against average in 10 games. Those comparable numbers don’t justify paying -125 before the assignments are official.
Minnesota is the projected winner because of its defensive and power-play advantages, but Montreal’s form and home ice narrow that edge. The Wild moneyline at -125, Minnesota -1.5, Montreal +105 and the total of 6.5 all lack enough support for a wager. Pass.
