LiontipsMinnesota vs Vegas. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (April 4, 2023).
Command Analysis
Minnesota have taken the top spot in their division with 97 points, but only lead their closest pursuers, Dallas and Colorado, by one point. The team is currently in good form, having won five of their last seven games. After successful matches against Seattle (5-1) and Colorado (4-2), the Wild did lose to Vegas (1-4). It's worth noting that Dean Evason's team has demonstrated good defensive play in many games and has not allowed more than one or two goals.
Vegas have been the leader of the Western Conference for most of the season. The team is showing decent results, although they are not as successful on road trips as they are at home. In the last games, the Golden Knights lost to Edmonton (4-7) and San Jose (3-4 OT). In the game against the Wild, Laurent Brossoit played well in goal, making a total of 29 saves. Overall, Bruce Cassidy's team prefers to play an open style of hockey, so on average, they concede about three goals per game.
Trends
Ставка Minnesota IT over 2.5 goals
In two out of three games, the visitors conceded more than two goals.
Ставка 1st period: total over 1.5 goals

Tip and bets
We think that Minnesota will be able to take revenge for their recent defeat at home. The VGK aren't as strong on road trips as they are in Vegas, and in the recent meeting between the clubs, the Wild looked decent, but failed to take advantage of their chances. Minnesota rarely lose two games in a row, especially in regulation, and we will be backing them in this match.
Our prediction - handicap (0) to Minnesota
The last game between the clubs was very exciting with many scoring chances and should have ended with more than five goals scored. The teams have powerful attacking lines, so we expect at least six goals in their performance this time.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
