The Minnesota Wild remain in southern California to take on the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday evening.
Minnesota was edged out by the LA Kings 1 - 0 yesterday, and now they head south 30 miles to The Pond to take on Anaheim.
Minnesota looked terrible at the start of the season, losing four of their first five games. However, they flipped that streak in their next five games, winning four of them.
This hot and cold nature is an odd trend that will be tough to sustain for the team. They need to quickly figure out what is working for them and see if they can straighten things out before things spiral out of hand.

Minnesota Wild vs. Anaheim Ducks Best Picks
Ryan Strome has been a fantastic addition for Anaheim. Strome came over from the New York Rangers in the off-season, and he is already making a difference.
He seems to be the spark plug that has kicked off this winning streak for Anaheim, as he has six points in their last five games. This is a stark contrast from the four points he had in the Ducks' opening seven games. Nevertheless, he is on a roll, and when he's hot, no one should bet against him.
Ryan Strom Over 0.5 Points (-134)
Minnesota Wild vs. Anaheim Ducks Prediction
After opening the season with seven losses, the Ducks have bounced back strong, winning four of their last five. However, it is worth noting that only one of their wins came in regulation time. It has taken over time and a couple of shootouts for the Anaheim club to pick up wins.
They have a tough challenge ahead of them with the Wild, but with Minnesota having to play back-to-back, a win should be a lock for the home team.
Anaheim (+138)
Bettors who like a little extra juice in their plays may consider tacking on this play.
