Vegas Golden Knights vs Minnesota Wild Prediction
Both teams on the end of a back-to-back, the Wild probably have the advantage considering they haven’t had to travel. However, the Wild have had issues stringing together wins, and now they face a Vegas side that’s won 8 of the last 10 meetings. A lot of those games weren’t that competitive, either. You can also argue the Golden Knights have played their best hockey overall this season on the road. Give me Vegas and the cheap price.
