Wild vs Golden Knights Moneyline Pick: Golden Knights (-145)
Though both teams are on a two-game winning streak, the Golden Knights are a solid NHL betting pick to keep that streak going at home.
Las Vegas has been hard to beat at home this season, owning a 19-5-2 record, and its defense has continued to play strong recently. In their last five games, the Knights have given up 2.4 goals a game. Their offense hasn’t been bad either despite missing some top players. Vegas has averaged 3.2 goals in its last five games despite one of its leading scores in Jack Eichel remaining on injured reserve.
Minnesota, meanwhile, hasn’t had the greatest offense, averaging 2.8 goals a game in its last five while having a 10-12-2 record on the road. The Knights also expect to have the advantage in net, with goalie Adin Hill winning his last four starts with a .944 save percentage in that time while Filip Gustavsson has a .910 save percentage and 2-2 record in that same time. Vegas should get another win at home.
Wild vs Golden Knights Game Prop: Race to Three Goals, Golden Knights (+110)
This game should be more of a defensive battle, with both teams playing better defensively. The Wild have given up 2.4 goals a game in their last five while the Knights have allowed the same amount in the same period of time. Given both teams’ defensive strength lately, whoever gets to three first should be able to come out on top.
With Vegas’ strength offensively as well and its superiority in net, along with the Knights playing at home, they should have enough of an edge to reach three first and get the win.
