Our final and featured game of NHL predictions has the Minnesota Wild going for the three-game season sweep of the Edmonton Oilers. Filip Gustavsson is the projected starter for the Wild, who are 5-3-2 prior to the Hockey Night in Canda finale. However, Minnesota has taken its last two games to remain second in the Central Division. Kirill Kaprizov leads the team in goals (29), assists (37), and points (66) so far this campaign.
Tristan Jarry is the expected starter for Edmonton, which is 6-3-1 in its last 10 games. The Oilers have won three games in a row, including a furious comeback against the San Jose Sharks the last time out. Edmonton has been able to piece things together and sit in second in the Pacific Division. Connor McDavid has been strong all season with 34 goals, 60 assists, and 94 points.
