Pittsburgh Penguins vs Minnesota Wild Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/30/25

The Pittsburgh Penguins are in Minnesota on Thursday night to take on the Wild. Both teams are off to relatively surprising starts, but for very different reasons. The Penguins have exceeded expectations thus far, owning a strong 7-2-2 record. On the other side, the Wild have disappointed early on, owning a less-than-ideal 3-5-3 mark. Minnesota’s woes can be attributed to a lack of consistent offense. The Wild rank 25th in the league scoring 2.73 goals per game. They have been extremely reliant on the power play, as they own the best power play percentage in the league at 31.8%, but playing at even strength has been a struggle – which isn’t what you want to see if you’re a Wild fan.

The Penguins are scoring 3.64 goals per game, which is good for 5th in the league. Just how sustainable is that? Pittsburgh is overachieving relative to preseason expectations so far, but they’ve now dropped 2 of their last 3 games and their goals per game average drops to 3.33 on the road. That’s still a solid number, but the Penguins have been much better on home ice. The good news is that Pittsburgh has been stout defensively all season, allowing just 2.55 goals per game. Given the Wild’s 5-on-5 struggles this season, Pittsburgh should be able to hold Minnesota to a low goal total. All in all, this could be a low-scoring affair. Look to the under.
