My best bet for Tuesday was just about to cash, then the Montreal Canadiens tied the game with the Florida Panthers and sent it to overtime, where they beat the champs. Hopefully, tomorrow’s play is less snakebitten. For my best bet for Wednesday, December 31st: NHL Predictions, we’re headed to the SAP Center at San Jose. Let’s get this money!
Best Bet For Wednesday (December 31st): NHL Predictions
Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks
Start Time: 4:00 PM EST
Check the early start time for this game, since it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow night. Let’s ring in the New Year with a winner down in San Jose, where the Sharks are hosting the Minnesota Wild.
The Sharks are exceeding expectations this year, with 41 points already in 39 games (they managed 52 all of last year). San Jose’s success has been powered by a slightly above-average offense, to compensate for their porous defense, as they’ve allowed the 30th most goals in the league this year.
However, despite beating Minnesota twice already this season, the Sharks aren’t on the Wild’s level. Minnesota has the 10th-best offense and the fifth-best defense. Plus, the Wild is one of the league’s top road teams, going 11-6-1 away from the Twin Cities thus far.
I like Minnesota to finally get the better of San Jose tomorrow night and end the year with a W.
