Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas had a great regular season and ended up in the second position of the Western Conference. However, the team has great ambitions and wants to win the Stanley Cup, so it is not surprising that it was one of the leaders in the standings. It should be noted that the club had a very successful end of the championship and was able to get Victoria in most of the matches.
In the first match with the Savages, the Golden Knights had the advantage and played number one. They achieved success with a score of 4:2 and did not experience any special difficulties. By the way, they scored two goals in that meeting in the majority, although they scored only 27 shots on the opponent's goal. Tomas Gertl showed his best again and earned two points in the goal+pass system, scoring a goal and an assist.
In general, we should not forget that Vegas makes great use of its attempts to score in the majority. During the championship, Bruce Cassidy's team was one of the best in the league in this component and had 28.3% of excess sales, ranking second in this indicator.
Disqualifications and injuries
Robin Lehner will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Vegas makes 30 shots on target.

Minnesota Wild
USACurrent form
Minnesota did not have a particularly successful regular season and looked very unstable. The team experienced many different problems both in the game itself and with the squad. From time to time, the savages faced difficulties in creating and implementing chances, which left them with no more than two abandoned goals in the asset.
By the way, in the opening game against Vegas, John Hines' team also did not play the best way offensively, which is why they were left with two goals in the asset. At the same time, Kirill Kaprizov did everything possible to ensure that his team won, and even scored two assists, but this was not enough to achieve success.
We emphasize that in that meeting, the Wild did not force the opponent to leave at all and forced him to leave only once, so it is logical that they did not score goals in most cases. However, unlike the Golden Knights, Minnesota did not take advantage of the numerical advantage in the best way and had only 20.9% of sales during the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
David Irzicek will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota makes an average of 27 shots on target.
- Savages win 46.7% of face-offs
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In three out of five matches between the clubs, the first period turned out to be productive.
1.88The 3rd periodbet: the victory of the hosts
In the last five meetings against Minnesota, the hosts have been successful in the third stint.
2.05Tip and bets
We think that Vegas will be able to prove his superiority over his opponent in the upcoming match. The savages look weaker than their counterpart in many aspects and clearly cannot cope with the speeds that the knights are trying to impose on them. In addition, the guests are not as good at enjoying their moments as the hosts do. It is no coincidence that all previous meetings between the clubs ended in favor of the Golden Knights. We think that Vegas will be successful in the upcoming meeting.
Prediction - Vegas wins in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
We expect to see no more than two goals scored by Minnesota again in this match. The savages don't play the best way offensively, so every goal is given to them with great difficulty. In previous meetings, the Knights often managed with less than three goals conceded, and demonstrated extremely reliable play in their own zone.
We're betting on Minnesota's individual total of less than 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
We don't expect to see a lot of dropped goals in this match. Vegas will try to play for quality and will not take unnecessary risks. The savages, in turn, after failing in the first meeting, will also try to play defensively. Past matches with the participation of guests also rarely took place with more than five or six goals scored, so it makes sense to put less on the total.
We take a total of less than six goals for 1.60
