Vegas Golden Knights at Minnesota Wild Preview & Picks

Minnesota are backed to open up a three-game lead in this playoff series.

The Wild entered this series with a rough recent record against Vegas, but they have ran out convincing winners in the last two meetings and that cannot be ignored.

  • Minnesota Wild are 6-2 in their previous 8 games
  • Minnesota Wild have out-scored Vegas 10-4 over the last 2 meetings
  • Vegas Golden Knights are 6-6 in their previous 12 games
  • The last 4 meetings have produced over 5.5 total goals

Head To Head

  • Vegas Golden Knights lead the all-time series 20-17-1
  • Minnesota Wild won 5-2 when the two teams last met on April 24

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas go into Game 4 of this series looking to rebound from back-to-back defeats that have left them 2-1 down.

The Golden Knights enjoyed a winning start to the postseason as they downed Minnesota 4-2, continuing their recent dominance of the Wild.

However, they were unable to build on that victory and went out on the road for the first time in the series on the back of a 5-2 defeat.

That became back-to-back losses for Vegas on Thursday, as they suffered another 5-2 defeat at the Xcel Energy Center.

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

Minnesota Wild Form

Minnesota go into their second home game of the series with a slight advantage thanks to back-to-back wins.

The Wild opened up this series on the road and made a losing start as they were beaten 4-2 in Vegas.

They have issued the perfect response though, winning the last two meetings with the Golden Knights in convincing fashion.

Minnesota knotted up the series at one win apiece with a 5-2 victory in ‘Sin City’, before returning home to record another 5-2 win over Vegas.

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

Verdict

Vegas have repeatedly beaten Minnesota in recent years, but momentum is firmly on the Wild’s side.

They have out-scored the Golden Knights by six goals over the last two games, so we are backing the Wild to deliver on the home ice once again.
