Our free Wild vs. Penguins predictions see Mats Zuccarello finding the score sheet vs. Pittsburgh on Friday, November 21.
The Minnesota Wild have won five of their last six games and are suffocating teams, not allowing a goal at 5-on-5 in four consecutive contests. Kaprizov, always in motion, can weave and dash through virtually any NHL team’s defensive coverage.
Zuccarello provides a willing and intuitive partner, helping to springboard Kaprizov to open space or jumping into a shooting lane to receive a pass. Zuccarello has 60 points in his 75 games over the past two seasons combined. His 0.8 points per game ranks him in the Top 90 players in the NHL over that time. Not bad for a 38-year-old. Zuccarello’s metrics away from Kaprizov are unimpressive. Ergo, to make Zuccarello produce like a top forward, he needs proximity to Kaprizov’s greatness. This extends to the power play, as the duo will move and occupy any position in their formation to open up the best shooting or passing lane.are in the bottom third in the league in expected goals against and high-danger chances against, so this is a matchup where Zuccarello can shine.are down two centers, with rookie Danila Yurov stepping into the first-line-center role. But Kaprizov and Zuccarello should still find plenty of opportunities, as Yurov acts as the defensive conscience for the two. It’s easy to envision Kaprizov creating chances off Penguins forecheckers caught deep, and he has the playmaking to prey on the Penguins’ desire to overload on the puck in the defensive zone. Kaprizov’s chances at scoring seem especially propitious because he is whipping shots at net, registering 23 shots combined over his last five games. Overall, offense should be hard to come by for Pittsburgh. The Pens' style of staying patient on the perimeter and controlling zone time likely spells few offensive chances for the Wild, especially for their Bottom 6. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
