The Winnipeg Jets will host the Minnesota Wild tonight, marking the third meeting between these two Central Division teams this season.
My Wild vs. Jets predictions and NHL picks suggest an exciting goaltending duel as both of these teams resume action following a short Christmas break.

Wild vs Jets prediction
Wild vs Jets best bet: Under 5.5 (+100)
The Under has hit in four of the last five meetings between these teams, including the most recent, which was a 3-0 Minnesota Wild victory on November 23.
An elite goaltending matchup between Filip Gustavsson (2.49 GAA, .912 save percentage) and Connor Hellebuyck (2.48 GAA, .912 save percentage) solidifies this pick, especially as these teams rank 17th and 21st in goals scored, respectively.
Minnesota’s outstanding goalie duo is a big reason why they allow the third-fewest goals in the NHL. I expect the Under to cash tonight, as most of the previous meetings between these teams have.
