Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks: San Jose Sharks +0.5 3rd Period Puck Line (-110)

Minnesota Wild have been on a roll lately, winning 7 of their last 10 games. They play tough, blocking an average of 14.5 shots a game and landing 23.1 hits, which shows they really go after the puck. However, San Jose Sharks have also been competitive, winning 4 of their last 10 and showing grit with 25.3 hits each game. For the third period, taking San Jose Sharks +0.5 makes sense. They have a solid shot-blocking game and can keep things close, especially since both teams are battling hard. The biggest risk is that the Wild have home ice and are riding high on their recent wins, but the Sharks are no pushovers. This should be a tight matchup.

Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks: Over 6.5 Total Goals (+106)

For this bet to pay off, the game between the Minnesota Wild and San Jose Sharks needs to have at least seven goals scored. The Wild have been solid lately, winning seven of their last ten games and showing they know how to find the back of the net. They also play tough, blocking a lot of shots and landing plenty of hits, which can lead to more scoring chances. The Sharks, while struggling a bit with only four wins in their last ten, have also been aggressive, landing more hits than average. This matchup is pretty even, so there's a real chance it could turn into a high-scoring affair. Just keep in mind that the combined total our numbers show is around six goals, so it might be a close call.

Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks: Jesper Wallstedt Over 22.5 Saves (+100)

Tonight, Jesper Wallstedt needs to make more than 22 saves for this bet to win. The Minnesota Wild have been strong lately, winning 7 out of their last 10 games, which means they'll keep the pressure on the San Jose Sharks. Wallstedt is likely to face a good number of shots since the Sharks have been landing more hits than the league average, which suggests they'll create chances to score. However, it's important to note that the Sharks have won 4 of their last 10 games, which means they can be competitive. If they find their rhythm, Wallstedt might be busy in the crease. Given how close this matchup is, it could go either way, but with the Wild's recent form, Wallstedt has a solid shot at hitting those saves tonight.

Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks: Kiefer Sherwood Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (-125)

Kiefer Sherwood has been showing some solid play lately, and he's got a good chance to get over 1.5 shots on goal in this game. The Minnesota Wild have been winning more often than not, taking 7 of their last 10 games. That winning streak can really boost the confidence of their players, especially at home in Grand Casino Arena. The San Jose Sharks might be struggling a bit with only 4 wins in their last 10, which could lead to some more offensive opportunities for Sherwood. The Sharks also block a decent number of shots, but with both teams hitting hard and playing aggressively, he should find chances to shoot. Just keep in mind that the Sharks play tough.

Minnesota Wild vs San Jose Sharks: Macklin Celebrini Over 3.5 Shots on Goal (+125)

The Minnesota Wild have been strong lately, winning seven of their last ten games. They also do a great job of blocking and hitting, which can make for an intense game.

The matchup is close, and the Sharks could put up a fight, but Celebrini has the potential to take his chances.
