LiontipsVegas vs Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Vegas once again showed excellent performance this season, but still could not hold first place in the table, losing it to Colorado. The main strength of the Golden Knights was their excellent defensive play, on average the club conceded just over two goals per game.
The Knights finished their performance in the regular season with a landslide victory over San Jose (6:0), which confirmed the excellent form of the team. The best player was the striker Sikura, who scored a double. Vegas play their best at home, where they recently interrupted the winning streak of seven games, losing to Colorado (1:2).
This year, Minnesota added a young striker Kaprizov to the roster, who was able to bring some freshness to the team. The Wild got a ticket to the playoffs, as they earned 75 points and took the third line in the Western Division table. Indeed, Kaprizov has become a key player, who contributed a lot to the team's success.
However, at the end of the regular season, the Wild had some setbacks, the team stopped winning steadily, and also suffered two devastating defeats from St. Louis (0:4 and 3:7). The defense of Minnesota could hold back the opponent's pressure.
