LiontipsVegas Golden Knights - Minnesota Wild: NHL match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Vegas has been playing an amazing game this season and has consistently earned points throughout the regular season, which allowed it to finish in second place in the Western Conference table, with a slight lead of four points. Once again, the hallmark of the club was its very effective offensive play, with the Golden Knights averaging 3.35 goals per game, which is one of the best performances in the league.
What is especially noteworthy is that the Knights approached the playoffs in excellent shape and steadily coped with almost all competitors on their way to the very end of the regular season. The team has been scoring points for seven consecutive matches, and in only two of them have suffered disappointing shootout defeats from Colorado (2:3) and Calgary (4:5).

Current form
Minnesota started this season very successfully and even confidently held the lead in the Western Conference table for a while, but began to slow down during the tournament. At the very end of the regular season, the Wild began a serious recession, which almost put an end to the club's participation in the Stanley Cup. One of the reasons for the constant setbacks was an unpleasant injury to the main forward Kirill Kaprizov, who managed to recover only for the last regular season matches.
It was with the return of Kaprizov that the savages began to steadily earn points again. In the last five meetings of the regular season, the team suffered only one defeat from Calgary (2:4). However, it is worth noting that in all other fights it was possible to achieve success with great difficulty outside of regular time. It was thanks to these victories that the club was able to cling to the seventh place in the Western Conference table and qualify for the playoffs.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Irzicek remains in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets an average of 7.51 minutes of penalty time.

2.18Tip and bets
As we have already noted, Vegas is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are certain reasons. First of all, the Golden Knights are outperforming Minnesota in every way this season, as they prove from match to match. Secondly, the team will be playing at home, where it will be much easier to start the series successfully. It should also be noted that the ice masters, unlike the savages, approached the playoffs in excellent shape. So we suggest not to take risks, but to make a confident bet in favor of the knights.
Our betting tip is a Vegas victory in 1.90
Bet on the total
Vegas has a very active and effective offensive game. The team obviously will not sit on the defensive and will try to impose open hockey on Minnesota, which should lead to a large number of abandoned goals, given the far from reliable protection of the guests. And in face-to-face meetings, clubs also often delight fans with abandoned pucks.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.98
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Vegas, with the support of the fans and due to its superiority over its opponent, has every chance of creating serious problems for Minnesota already at the beginning of the meeting. We believe that the owners of the ice will earn an advantage at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Vegas wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.60
