The NHL Action Heats up as Winnipeg take on Minnesota

It's a Halloween NHL special this week as the Minnesota Wild host the Winnipeg Jets in a Central Division game between two teams that have started the season pretty well. The game is live on selected channels, meaning you can get your bets down pre-game and also enjoy watching and wagering on the BetOnline in-play betting platform—something that's growing massively in popularity with NHL bettors.

Jets' Momentum

The Jets are rolling along nicely, having taken points in their last four outings. They're coming off a huge 7-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, a game in which Blake Wheeler blasted a hat trick and an assist, bringing his totals up to a very impressive 4 goals and 8 assists. The Jets will head to Minnesota full of confidence after beating the Wild 4-3 earlier this month.

Wild's Resurgence

However, it'll be no walk in the park as Minnesota are also in fiery form. The Minnesota Wild currently are propping up the rest of the division but don't let their place in that division fool you—they've played fewer games and are on a nice run of 3 wins from their last 4 games. That's hardly bottom of the league form and they'll be looking to add another scalp this week. However, they'll be needing goaltender Devan Dubnyk to hit top form. His slow start to the season has seen only 3 wins from 7 starts and that's not where he'll want to be, with turning that around being key to the outcome of this game.
