Hurricanes vs. Wild Prediction
A pair of red-hot teams will meet in Minnesota on Saturday night when the Wild host the Hurricanes at 8:00 p.m. ET. The over has been a great bet in previous meetings between these two teams but is six too big a total?

Carolina Hurricanes DFS Spin
Frederik Andersen turned aside all 34 shots he faced during Thursday’s 6-0 win over the Boston Bruins. Andersen has had a really good first season in Carolina and it’s the second time that he blanks the Bruins on the season. He’s now unbeaten in his last eight games (7-0-1) and he’s improved his overall record to 25-6-1 in 2021-22. He’ll head into his next game with a 2.01 goals-against-average and a .930 save percentage. Andersen needs to be in your starting lineups whenever he’s between the pipes in season-long leagues.
Minnesota Wild DFS Spin
Cam Talbot will be between the pipes on Saturday night against Carolina. Talbot is coming off a 30-save shutout win over Chicago on Feb. 2. He has won his past three starts to lift his record to 18-8-1 on the season. Talbot has a 2.81 GAA and .913 SV% in 27 games played.
Hurricanes vs. Wild Betting Prediction
The over is a perfect 7-0 in the last seven meetings between these two teams and is 5-0-1 in the last six meetings in Minnesota. The over is also 7-3 in the Hurricanes’ last 10 games overall, is 6-1 in their last seven road games and is 7-3 in their last 10 games following a win. On the other side, the over is 23-6 in the Wild’s last 29 home games, is 9-4 in their last 13 games as a home dog and is 16-6-1 in their last 23 games versus Eastern Conference foes.
