LiontipsMinnesota vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 6, 2021).
Command Analysis
Minnesota keep bringing joy to their fans this season and now the team can try to get to the playoffs from the first position. Minnesota are still on the third line and has 70 points in the asset, but they are actively earning points. After two defeats from St. Louis, the Wild took revenge on the Blues (4:3 OT), and in the last game, they beat Vegas with a score of 6: 5.
In that really tough fight, Dean Evason's men were losing 3:5 but could turn the tide of the game in the third period and scored three unanswered goals. Such a victory surely raised the morale of the team.
Vegas are currently on the first line of the standings with a total of 74 points. The team rarely had setbacks this season and we can even say that they are used to winning. However, in the last three games, Peter DeBoer's men did not look as confident as they used to.
Before the match against Minnesota, the Knights lost to Arizona (0:3), and could only take revenge on the Coyotes in overtime in the return match (3:2). Away the Golden Knights are not as confident as on their home court and have won only 12 games out of 26 in regulation time.
Trends
Ставка1st Period: Total Over 1.5

Ставка2nd period: Minnesota To Score

Tip and bets
In our opinion, Minnesota can get a win in the upcoming fixture. The Wild had a great last game and got a strong-willed victory, demonstrating great performance in attack. It is difficult for the Knights to play away against Evason's squad, and never in history have the Golden Knights beat Wild away in regulation time.
Our prediction is Minnesota to win.
In the previous game, the teams made it clear that they do not just sit back in defense and play boring. We are waiting for great hockey on a collision course, just like in the previous match, since both teams have good performers in the attack.
Our second bet will be on total over 5.5 goals.
