It’s shaping up to be another very profitable week here at Elite Sports Beat. So far this week I am 2-1 +$950. Winning 1 NHL pick (+$1,000 proof here) losing 1 NBA pick (-$550 proof here) and winning 1 college basketball pick (proof here). I highly suggest you STOP missing these winners and get on board before you miss another!
The Minnesota Wild have thrived on the road this season, but their performance on home ice has been a different story. As they return to Xcel Energy Center following a five-game road trip, they’ll look to improve their home record when they face the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday.
Road Dominance vs. Home Struggles
Minnesota boasts an impressive 20-7-3 record on the road, the best in the NHL. However, their 11-12-1 mark at home paints a stark contrast. A closer look at their statistics reveals the glaring disparity.
At home, the Wild are managing just 2.58 goals per game, ranking 31st in the league, while conceding 3.29 goals per game, among the highest in the NHL. Their third-period production has been particularly concerning, with only 22 goals at home, the second-fewest in the league. Their penalty kill has been a major issue as well, operating at a league-worst 61.1 percent on home ice.
On the road, it’s a completely different story. Minnesota’s offense jumps to 3.03 goals per game, ranking 12th in the league, while their defense tightens up, allowing just 2.47 goals per game, the second-fewest in the NHL. They have also been one of the league’s best third-period teams on the road, scoring 38 goals, the second-most in the league.
Wild Return Home After Rough Finish to Road Trip
Despite their road success, the Wild ended their recent trip on a sour note, losing their final two games in shutout fashion. They fell 6-0 to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday before being blanked 3-0 by the Boston Bruins on Tuesday.
One bright spot for Minnesota has been Marco Rossi, who has already set a career high with 46 points (18 goals, 28 assists) in 54 games. The 23-year-old forward is second on the team in scoring behind the injured Kirill Kaprizov (52 points) and is just three goals away from matching last season’s total.
Hurricanes Seeking a Bounce-Back Performance
Carolina enters this matchup looking to snap a two-game skid of their own. The Hurricanes suffered a 4-2 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday before getting shut out 3-0 by the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday.
A key area of concern for Carolina has been their power play, which has struggled mightily in recent weeks. The Hurricanes went 0-for-2 against Winnipeg and are just 1-for-25 over their last 10 games with the man advantage.
Prior to this slump, Carolina had been on a 6-0-1 run, with Sebastian Aho leading the charge. The center recorded seven points (four goals, three assists) in five games during that stretch but has been held off the scoresheet in the last two outings.
Key Storylines to Watch
- Will the Wild finally turn things around at home? Minnesota has been dominant on the road, but their struggles at Xcel Energy Center continue to be a major issue.
- Can Carolina find a spark on the power play? The Hurricanes’ recent special teams woes have been a major factor in their back-to-back losses.
- Marco Rossi’s rise. With Kaprizov sidelined, Rossi has stepped up offensively—can he continue his breakout season?
