Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Kirill Kaprizov / Over 3.5 Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -110 / 72% / Kaprizov leads Wild in shot volume with 4.2 average in home games this season, facing a Predators defense allowing 32 shots per game to top-line wingers.

Player Prop #2: Filip Forsberg / Over 0.5 Points / 0.5 at -115 / 68% / Forsberg has points in 75% of road games with 1.1 average, exploiting Minnesota’s middling penalty kill and high-danger scoring opportunities.

Player Prop #3: Matt Boldy / Over 2.5 Shots on Goal / 2.5 at -105 / 65% / Boldy’s 3.1 shot average surges against Central Division foes, with Nashville’s back-end injuries weakening containment of Wild’s power-play threats.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Wild across moneyline and spread, aligning with money distribution and showing no sharp resistance via reverse line movement, making a follow on Minnesota’s outright win mathematically sound given their home dominance and simulation edge. However, the puck line offers contrarian value on Nashville due to the 42% cover rate for Minnesota -1.5 falling short of implied odds, supported by Predators’ resilience in close games. Overall scoring outlook leans low with both teams’ defensive xGA metrics and goalie starts projecting under 6 goals, countering any public over lean.
