Minnesota - Vegas: NHL match betting tip
On March 26, Minnesota will have a showdown with Vegas on its home court. The Savages are in their best form over the last month, but the Knights are going on a successful streak. Bookmakers consider the guests to be the favorites of this confrontation. Indeed, they finished the previous match against the Wild in their favor with extreme confidence. Is it worth betting on their success this time? You will learn about this from the betting tip

Command Analysis

Minnesota Wild

Current form
Minnesota is currently in seventh position in the Western Conference and clearly does not want to be outside the playoff zone. That's why she's pulled herself together lately and got out on a winning streak in time. At the moment, the savages have already won three victorias in a row and continue to delight fans with cool results.
After defeating St. Louis (1:5), the Wild came to their senses and beat Los Angeles (3:1), Seattle (4:0) in turn, and also performed well in the confrontation with Buffalo, defeating it with a score of 4:1. In each case, John Hines' team was distinguished by a reliable defensive game and did not allow the opponents to score more than one goal. Filip Gustavsson also handled his duties at a high level, who even in the last match parried a total of 20 shots.
However, Minnesota needs to continue working hard on its game in the majority, since today it has only 20.9% of excess sales, which is a rather mediocre indicator for the NHL.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kaprizov, Foligno, Brodin and Eriksson Ek will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota gets 7.57 minutes of penalty time per match, according to statistics.
- Savages win only 47% of face-offs

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form
Vegas remains one of the main leaders of the Western Conference and is in the third position of the standings. The team can definitely get into the playoffs from the second place, because it has the same number of points with Dallas. The team has often had winning streaks over the past month and, for example, is currently on a three-victory streak.
After an unsuccessful match against Detroit on the road (0:3), the knights returned to their home court, where they defeated Boston (5:1), Detroit (6:3) and played a high-quality match against Tampa, in which they celebrated success with a score of 4:2. Despite missing two goals, Ilya Samsonov played that match against the lightning with more than dignity, as he parried a total of 35 shots. Jack Aikel, who remains the main scorer in the squad and has already scored 87 points in the goal+pass system, was also involved in that match.
The most powerful performance of Bruce Cassidy's squad can be called the third period, in which it has a 93:60 ratio of goals scored and conceded. However, she is clearly not so successful at other venues and has only won 13 victories within 60 minutes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lehner, Theodore and Gertl will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Vegas gets an average of 5.74 minutes of penalty time per match.
- The Knights average 30 shots on target per game.

3.05Tip and bets
The Savages are now in their best shape over the last month and are clearly set for a tight fight in the match against Vegas. The Knights, of course, in some ways look better than their counterpart on paper, but this season they are clearly not performing as well on the road as on their ice, so they may well have problems in the upcoming confrontation. We think that with the support of their tribunes, the Wild will earn at least one point.
Betting Tip - Minnesota won't lose in 1.85
Betting on an individual total
In recent matches, Minnesota has managed with the minimum number of goals conceded and has not allowed opponents to score even twice. Gustavsson also handled his duties well and parried most of the shots. If the Wild act in a similar way in the upcoming confrontation, they will not allow their opponent to score four goals.
We take an individual Vegas total of less than 3.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the total total
In this match, we wouldn't expect a lot of goals scored. Minnesota has been disciplined defensively lately and hasn't missed much, and it's clearly not that good offensively either. The previous meeting between the clubs, which took place a couple of months ago, also went with only five goals.
We bet on a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
