Minnesota Wild at Vegas Golden Knights Preview & Picks

The Over is tipped to cash in the fifth game of this playoff series.

These two teams have had few issues scoring so far, so we expect to see plenty more goals as the Golden Knights edge back in front.

  • The Over has cashed in the previous 4 games in this series
  • This series is averaging 6.8 total goals per games
  • Vegas Golden Knights are 7-2 in the previous 9 meetings
  • Vegas Golden Knights are 11-4 in their last 15 home games

Head To Head

  • Vegas Golden Knights lead the all-time series 20-17-1
  • Vegas Golden Knights won 4-3 in overtime when the two teams last met on April 26

Minnesota Wild Form

Minnesota head back to Vegas looking to rebound from the defeat that knotted the series up at two wins apiece.

The Wild opened the series on the road and suffered a 4-2 defeat in ‘Sin City’, but their response was strong.

They took the second game 5-2 in Vegas, before returning home to beat the Golden Knights by the same score.

Minnesota failed to make it three wins in a row though, with the 4-3 overtime defeat on Saturday levelling up this series.

The Wild booked their place in the playoffs by putting together a 45-30-7 record to finish fourth in the Central Division.

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas return home having hauled themselves level in the series with an important road win.

The Golden Knights enjoyed a winning start to the playoffs as they downed Minnesota 4-2 in the series-opener.

They failed to back up that victory though, as they followed up a 5-2 home defeat with a 5-2 loss to the Wild on the road.

Vegas rallied in Game 4 though, as they earned a 4-3 overtime victory that has levelled the series at two wins each.

The Golden Knights clinched their playoff place by finishing atop the Pacific Division with a 50-22-10 regular-season record.

Verdict

We like Vegas on the home ice, but the more appealing bet is picking the Over.

Goals have been aplenty in this series so far, and until that trend comes to an end we will be sticking with the Over.
