Minnesota Wild vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/20/26

The Minnesota Wild will be in Montreal on Tuesday night to take on the Canadiens. The Wild will be playing this game on the second half of a back-to-back. The Canadiens have a young dynamic group with a lot of scoring talent. As a team, they are fifth in the league in scoring, averaging 3.39 goals per game. Their defensive play and goaltending tend to hold them back from being a great team, but on most nights they can out-score their mistakes. They will be going up against a Wild team that should be a little sluggish from their game in Toronto on Monday.

The injury bug has struck the Wild lineup as of late as Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy remain out of the lineup. Without these two, their lineup is no where near as deep as it usually is, and they will be outmatched by the depth of the Canadiens. Home ice advantage at the Bell Centre is a real thing as that building is always rocking. I will be siding with the home team Canadiens in this one.
