LiontipsVegas vs Minnesota. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (May 29, 2021).
Command Analysis
Vegas could not keep the same pace as at the start of the playoffs. The team suffered the second defeat in a row from Minnesota with a score (0:3). This time, the attacking line couldn't create enough moments and didn't score a single goal. Also, the goaltender Fleury was not very reliable: he stopped only 87% of the shots.
Before that, the Golden Knights played away, where they also lost to the Wild (2:4). Now the Knights have a difficult situation, as the team may be knocked out after this fight, which few could have expected after such a confident start.
Minnesota made a comeback in the series, after three defeats in a row, the team leveled the score and now has every chance to advance to the next stage of the playoffs. At home, the Wild beat Vegas without any problems, with striker Fiala becoming the best player with one goal and an assist. Once again, goalie Talbot gave a shutout performance.
The Wild fixed their mistakes in defense and also became more active in the attack, and that immediately gave good results.
