The Minnesota Wild and New Jersey Devils are all set for a matchup tonight from the Prudential Center. Puck-drop between the two sides is set for 7:00 p.m. EST.

The Wild come into this game with a record of 40-22-8 on the season and they currently sit in third place within the Central Division. They have gone 7-1-2 over their last 10 games overall and are clicking at the right time in the year. Minnesota is averaging 2.90 goals per game and are allowing 2.67 goals against them per game. The offense has been a problem for them all season but thankfully, the defense has been strong to keep them afloat.

New Jersey enters tonight, just behind the Carolina Hurricanes in the race for the Metropolitan Division. Any points they can get will help in their path to the playoffs. On offense this season, the Devils have been averaging 3.49 goals and are allowing 2.67 goals per game to opponents. It has been a really strong year for New Jersey and they look like they will be a problem to deal with come playoff time. They have gone 5-3-2 over their last 10 games overall.

Prediction: New Jersey Devils 4, Minnesota Wild 2

I like the Devils to grab the win at home tonight. They have been a very good team at home and that continues here.
