Washington Capitals vs Minnesota Wild 3/19/2023 Picks Predictions Previews
The Washington Capitals will collide with the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday afternoon.
Washington heads to this competition versus Minnesota after a horrible loss to the St. Louis Blues at 2-5 in the recent home defense on Friday stopping the possible two-straight win of the Capitals.
After the loss, Washington suffered three losses in the last five matches and needs to get back on the winning track with a victory versus the Wild on Sunday.
The Washington Capitals already lost their dominance as a team to watch for like they were a few years ago when they snatched the Stanley Cup title back in 2018.
However, the Capitals still have their chance of getting into a playoff spot this season with a win against the Wild for the start.
Though Washington still needs five points to get the final wildcard slot in the Eastern Conference, a win on Sunday will help the team get nearer to the spot as they currently hold an overall record of 33-30-7 with 70 points after finishing 70 games for the year.
The totals went OVER in 5 of the Capitals’ last 5 matches played while Washington is 5-11 straight up in their last 16 outings.

Washington Capitals vs Minnesota Wild Predictions 3/19/2023
The Minnesota Wild will stay at home and will try to get back from a disappointing loss in the recent home defense yesterday when hosting the Washington Capitals on Sunday.
Minnesota won three of the last five games played but lost the last match against the league’s best Boston Bruins at 2-5 on Saturday.
In spite of losing their recent home defense against the Bruins, the Wild has been playing their best hockey just recently which elevates their position from a wildcard spot to the second spot in the Central Division.
On Saturday, Left-winger Marcus Johansson led the offense for Minnesota with one goal and one assist in the losing effort.
The Minnesota Wild has been wrestling with the consistency of their play as the team managed to win three consecutive games but will go on next to lose three contests in a row.
However, the Wild managed to cope with the issue just in time as the playoffs get nearer. Kirill Kaprizov is Minnesota’s best player for the season as the left-winger recorded 39 goals, 35 assists, and 74 points for the year.
Unfortunately, Kaprizov will not be skating with his team versus Washington as he is still recovering from a lower-body injury.
The totals went OVER in 5 of the Wild’s last 5 matches while Minnesota is 11-4 straight up in its last 5 outings.
The totals went UNDER in 14 of the Wild’s last 17 home contests while Minnesota is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home versus the Capitals.
Washington Capitals vs. Minnesota Wild. The NHL Pick for this contest is Minnesota -163.
This match is undoubtedly a mismatch as the Wild have been running hot on the ice recently while the Capitals are playing as cold as the ice rink.
Even not looking at their previous matches played, Minnesota comes up as the better and all-around team as recorded the whole season. The prediction: Minnesota Wild will win 5-2.
