Minnesota Wild and Pittsburgh Penguins head-to-head record
The Minnesota Wild defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 earlier in the season on October 30. The Wild have won their past two games with the Penguins. Nonetheless, the Penguins have won three of their previous five meetings, demonstrating their success in prior meetings. Pittsburgh overpowered the Wild with a 4-1 win in April of 2023 and a 6-4 victory in November 2022, and they won 4-3 in December 2023. Minnesota might have the advantage, especially at home, given their recent dominance in this game and their strong overall record. To overcome the Wild's ability to prevail in close games, the Penguins, who are having trouble on the road and are now on a losing streak of four games, will need to put up a good offensive performance. The Wild could continue their run of victories against Pittsburgh since Matthew Boldy leads the team in points and Frederick Gaudreau of Minnesota stepped up in the previous game. However, the Penguins possess a chance to break their slump if Phillip Tomasino and Rickard Rakell can produce offensively.
