Minnesota Wild vs Anaheim Ducks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/02/26

The Minnesota Wild are travelling to Anaheim to face the Ducks for the second time this season. In their November meeting, these teams scored only two goals combined. However, a lot has changed since then, and we can expect to see many more goals in tonight’s game. The Wild are built to score and have been one of the highest-scoring teams since acquiring Quinn Hughes. While their goaltending remains well above average, it doesn’t guarantee that they won’t allow goals.

The Ducks come into tonight’s game on a 4-game losing streak, having allowed a staggering 18 goals while scoring only 9 during this period. As a young hockey team, they are experiencing the expected growing pains. While their goal-scoring ability is evident, they tend to give up many high-danger scoring chances. If this trend continues tonight, the Wild will capitalize on it. Both teams have average penalty kills, which gives the offense an additional advantage. We should expect plenty of back-and-forth action, hopefully leading to many goals.
