LiontipsMinnesota vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 23, 2021).
Command Analysis
Minnesota showed excellent results throughout the season, but in the playoffs, the team got unlucky with an opponent. Already in the first round, the Wild had to face Vagas - one of the contenders for the Stanley Cup. The Wild started the streak well with an away win (1:0 OT). They managed to prevail thanks to the efforts of the goaltender Talbot, who gave a shutout performance and stopped all 42 shots.
In the second game, the Wild lost (1:3), but even worse was the third match, in which Minnesota suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 2:5. The team's defense allowed the opponent to create too many dangerous moments at their goal.
Although Vegas could not finish the regular season on the first line in the table, the team has every chance of competing for the Stanley Cup. The Golden Knights failed to use their attacking potential in the first game, losing (0:1 OT). But in the return match, Peter DeBoer's charges took revenge with a score of 3:1.
The Knights gave their best performance away, where they defeated Minnesota with a score of 5: 2. The best player was Mark Stone, who scored a double. But the goaltender Fleury was not so reliable: he stopped only 14 shots. Luckily, that was fully compensated by the actions in the attack.

Tip and bets
Vegas are currently much stronger than Minnesota, which was shown in the last game. The Wild simply cannot cope with the opponent's attack, which is why they concede quite a few goals. The Knights are not scared to play away, and we are going to bet on the victory of the Golden Knights again.
Our prediction Vegas to win
Teams usually do not score a large number of goals in the head-to-head. Minnesota sometimes manage to stop Vegas's pressure. But, due to the fact that the Wild are sitting deep back in defense, there aren't many goals scored. We suggest betting on a total of under 5.5 goals.
Second prediction - total under 5.5 goals
