Current form

Vegas showed excellent results throughout the regular season, but the team had serious difficulties during the playoffs. Already in the first round of the Stanley Cup, the Golden Knights beat Minnesota with great difficulty. After two crushing defeats, it seemed that the knights might give up, but they twice snatched Victoria in extra time and prevailed in the final match with a difference of only one goal. It is worth noting that Wilde acted as a clear outsider.

As expected, Vegas continued to experience difficulties in the quarterfinals, where in the first match it was defeated by Edmonton with a score of 2:4. The defensive line of the team was unable to cope with the opponent's powerful attacking line. In the second match, the Golden Knights realized their attacking potential themselves, but the problems in defense did not go away. Due to the constant failures and the weak play of goalkeeper Hill, he had to concede again (4:5 OT).

Lehner will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match. Dorofeev and McNabb are also questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• Vegas gets an average of 6.6 minutes of penalty time
