The Minnesota Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights meet in NHL action from T-Mobile Arena on Thursday night.
The Minnesota Wild come into this game looking to build on their four-game winning streak after a 5-2 win over Arizona on Wednesday. Matt Dumba and Kirill Kaprizov each have a team-high 9 points with 7 assists each while Marcus Foligno has 8 points split between 4 goals and 4 assists. Mats Zuccarello and Ryan Hartman each have 7 points with Hartman leading the Wild with 6 goals and a +6 plus/minus rating this season. Cam Talbot’s seen the bulk of the action in goal for Minnesota, going 7-2 with a 2.85 GAA and a .904 save percentage this season.
The Vegas Golden Knights will be out to build on their 4-2 win over the Kraken in their last game. Chandler Stephenson leads the Golden Knights with 13 points including a team-high 8 assists while Jonathan Marchessault has 10 points with a team-high 6 goals and a +5 plus/minus rating this season. Shea Theodore, Nicolas Roy and Reilly Smith all have 8 points as well with Smith logging 4 goals while Roy and Theodore each have 6 assists. Robin Lehner’s started the bulk of the action for Vegas in net, going 6-5 with a 2.72 GAA and a .919 save percentage this season.
Minnesota is 8-3 in their last 11 games overall and 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 games played on no rest. Vegas is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall and 45-19 in their last 64 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games as a favorite.
There’s a lot of firepower on both sides here and I’ve been critical of the goaltending for much of the season so far, but I’m looking at the under in this one. The Golden Knights play well at home and Robin Lehner’s done a good job of made me eat my words in the last couple of weeks. The Wild on theother hand play a physical brand of hockey to begin with and a low-scoring 3-2 style of game here wouldn’t surprise me, so give me the under in this one.
