Minnesota Wild vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/05/26

The Minnesota Wild will take on the Detroit Red Wings Sunday afternoon. The Wild currently sit at 3^rd in the Western Conference and have officially advanced to the playoffs. They are riding a 2-game win streak while outscoring opponents 9-3. On the season, they are averaging 3.24 goals per game while only allowing 2.84 goals per game. The most impressive statistic for the Wild is that the lead the NHL in goaltender save percentage. Their overall defensive play has been the shining point for them and the main reason we will see them in the playoffs.

For the Red Wings, they are coming off a brutal 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers. Every game matters for the Red Wings as they currently sit at 8^th in the Eastern Conference. While this should be motivating, the Red Wings have lost 3 of their last 4 games. The Red Wings have also dropped their last 3 home games. On the season, scoring goals has been an issue for the Red Wings as they only average 2.91 goals per game and have the 27^th ranked shooting percentage in the NHL. Overall, the Red Wings seem to be the opposite of motivated and should struggle against a tough Wild defense. I am rolling with the Wild on the money line.
