Command Analysis

Minnesota Wild

Current form
Minnesota had a weak end to the regular season and did not come to the start of the playoffs in perfect condition. That is why she was initially considered an outsider in the confrontation with Vegas and did not have much chance of success, but now we can see perfectly well that the savages are ready to fight.
It should be noted that they scored a very important victory on the road in the second match of the series with a score of 5:2, and already on their ice they dealt with their opponent with exactly the same score. Strangely enough, the Wilds are playing well offensively now, and they are taking advantage of their chances, although they usually faced difficulties in performance and scored no more than two goals against such opponents.
Of course, Kirill Kaprizov, who recently returned to the roster, gives out a great game. He has already managed to earn seven points in the goal + pass system as part of this series and continues to delight fans with bright hockey. By the way, the club conducts the opening twenty minutes most successfully, during which it takes advantage and has a 6:2 ratio in terms of goals scored and conceded in the first segment.
Disqualifications and injuries
David Irzicek will not be able to participate in the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Minnesota wins an average of 48.6% of face-offs
- According to statistics, the team gets 4.67 minutes of penalty time.

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form
Vegas has looked stable this season and finished the regular season among the leaders of the Western Conference, taking third place in the standings. Throughout the year, the team showed a good offensive game and enjoyed a great numerical advantage. However, from time to time she had difficulties defending herself, which we see in the current series.
Knights also have problems with discipline. For example, in the last game they went down five times, which is why they conceded two goals in the 4x5 format. Plus, they played poorly in the majority, because they conceded the last goal, having a numerical advantage on the court. Of course, a lot also depends on the actions of the goalkeepers.
For example, Edin Hill is not doing his job well right now, and it's far from certain that Akira Schmid, who could potentially be chosen by the coaching staff as the number one in the upcoming match, will look better. It is worth noting that Vegas has performed poorly at other venues throughout the season, so it will clearly be difficult for him to pull himself together and give his maximum in St. Paul.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vegas has no problems with the lineup, only Robin Lehner will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Vegas gets an average of 5.5 minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, Chelyabinsk makes 30 shots on target.

In the last three matches between the clubs, the first period was productive.
1.87The 3rd periodrate: The hosts will score
In the previous three matches against Vegas, the hosts scored goals in the third period.
1.52Tip and bets
In our opinion, Minnesota is quite capable of claiming success in the upcoming match. The savages had a great time in the previous two matches and looked better than their opponent. Vegas is currently experiencing a lot of defensive problems and is not using its moments in the best way. In addition, the Golden Knights have not performed as well on the road as at home throughout the season, so it makes sense to put the hosts on Victoria.
Prediction - Minnesota wins with a handicap (0) in 2.30
Betting on an individual total
In previous matches, Minnesota made great use of their chances and looked great in most of them. The savages, with the support of the home stands, play strongly in attack and often score at least three goals. In addition, the goalkeepers of Vegas are mediocre in their duties. Based on this, we suggest betting on total wild.
We take Minnesota's individual total of more than 2.5 goals for 1.87
Bet on the total total
The previous meetings between the teams turned out to be spectacular and took place with no less than six goals scored. The savages play well offensively, but they often miss at least twice on their own. It is likely that the trend set by the teams in the opening meetings will continue, and they will continue to play outdoor hockey.
We bet on a total of more than 5.5 pucks for 1.85
