Wild vs Coyotes Odds, Picks, and Predictions Tonight: Faber Finds Score Sheet in Arizona

The Minnesota Wild are making a push for a playoff spot and head to Mullet Arena tonight to take on the Arizona Coyotes, who have won just six of 18 games since Christmas. 

Defenseman Brock Faber could take the rookie lead in scoring tonight with a single point and is paying -115 to do so in the NHL player props. With Arizona’s 6-0 win back in January on the Wild’s mind, is it point night for the visitors and their rookie phenom? 

I break down the NHL odds and offer my free NHL picks for Wild vs. Coyotes on Wednesday, February 14.

Wild vs Coyotes odds

Wild vs Coyotes predictions

Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber is currently tied with Connor Bedard in rookie scoring at 33 points but with the Chicago forward still on the sidelines, Faber continues to make a push in the Calder Trophy odds and is shortening up daily.

All the Minnesota native has done is put up 21 points over his last 24 games, including pointing in nine of his last 10 games. In those 10 games, he has 13 points with six coming on the power play where he plays the point.

He is also playing massive minutes which is adding extra value to his point totals. On the year his time on ice per game is 24:59, but over those last 24 games, the defender is playing 26:08.

The Wild also have a good matchup tonight vs. the Arizona Coyotes, who are allowing 3.81 goals per game since January 1, which ranks 31st in the league.

Connor Ingram will start for Arizona tonight. He has a 3.24 GAA and a .898 save percentage since January 1 but has been even worse of late, sporting an unsightly 5.26 GAA over his last four starts where he has given up 17 total goals. 

With the recent line changes adding to the offensive success of the Wild, Faber has been close to a point-per-game player and that trend should continue tonight. Minnesota should flirt with four or five goals vs. an Arizona team that is fading in the middle-to-later part of the season. 

My best bet: Brock Faber Over 0.5 points (-115 at FanDuel)

It's not a massive SGP, but the correlation is nice and Minnesota's offense is one to bet on right now.

Faber has pointed in nine of his last 10 games and the top line has found a lot of success. The Yotes and their goaltending are starting to wilt and this is a franchise that is comfortable with losing. Their current six-game losing streak could hit seven by the end of tonight. Arizona can't keep up with Minnesota's newfound success on offense.

Wild vs Coyotes moneyline and Over/Under analysis

Minnesota took out the Pens on Friday then had a weekend in Vegas and still beat the Knights on Monday in Alex Pietrangelo’s 1,000th game. The Wild put up five goals vs. one of the best goalies in Adin Hill and over their current 6-2 SU stretch, they have moneyline wins of +135, +116, +163, and +181. 

The Wild opened at -115 and have stayed there for most of the afternoon. It’s a little surprising as I could see the Wild closing at -125 or shorter. They’ve recently closed as -200 road favorites vs. Chicago and -135 on the road vs. the Blue Jackets.

Arizona ranks 25th in xG% at 5-on-5 over the last 30 days thanks to an offense that sits 28th in expected goals for/60. It is also riding a six-game losing streak. That might have some bettors expecting a better performance from the home side, but they just blew a third-period lead on Monday in a 5-3 loss to Philadelphia. The goaltending has been bad and they have the second-worst per-game goal differential at home since the start of January. 

The Wild have loaded up the top line and the young skaters in Marco Rossi and Matt Boldy are gelling with Karill Kaprizov, who has 15 points in 11 games since his return to the lineup. Minnesota is 7-4 SU and scoring 3.45 goals per game with Kaprizov back, which is the same mark as the Oilers. 

The total opened at 6 and has hit 5.5 in some spots. If this hits 5.5 and -125 for the Over, that would be a buy-point for me. Minnesota has not had great goaltending of late and has relied more on the offense to win games which gives value to the Over. 

Minnesota is 3-1 to the Over on 5.5 totals since January 1 and on the year, both clubs have winning percentages above .500 on the Overs with Arizona leading the way at 27-21-3 O/U. 

Getting the entire first line for Minnesota to collect a point is paying +175 at bet365, which isn’t a bad angle to find some plus money. The Minnesota team total Over 3.5 at +140 is also something I like. 

Arizona is being overvalued right now while the Wild’s offense might be undervalued.
