Odds
Minnesota is listed as a -135 home favorite while Vegas is a +115 road underdog. The total for this game is set at 6 goals.
Matchup History
Vegas’ 4-1 win over Minnesota back on April 1st, 2023, made it five wins in the last six head-to-head meetings between these two teams in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Vegas is 7-1 in their last 8 road games and 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 Monday games. Minnesota is 16-6 in their last 22 games overall and 76-32 in their last 108 home games while the under is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games against the Pacific division.
Pick
I’m backing the under here. This to me feels like a bit of a lower-scoring, playoff-type game here and I envision this ending up as a first to 3 wins kind of game. There’s huge playoff implications on both sides and I think it results in a more conservative style of game and slower-paced matchup. I’ll back the under here.
