Second places fourth in the Western Conference when the Vegas Golden Knights host the eliminated Minnesota Wild in a Friday night matchup that promises to be high on quality. The Knights are on a three game losing streak, so they will be looking to bounce back in order to secure a Postseason spot and the chance to defend their Stanley Cup title. They are currently locked on 42 wins with the St Louis Blues with just four regular season games left to play. Minnesota are five games back and already out of Playoff contention. However, their 37-32 record shows that they are a force to be recognized and more than capable of causing an upset. 

The last time the team's met, the Knights claimed a 2-1 victory, meaning they have triumphed in 7 of the last 10 contests between the sides. Overall, the Wild hold a 16-15 lead in the head-to-head.

Our Vegas Golden Knights vs Minnesota Wild Prediction

This is an absolutely huge game for the Golden Knights and defeat would put in a huge dent in their hopes of back-to-back Stanley Cup victories. However, we think they will rise to the occasion and put on a strong showing against a Minnesota team with little to play for. The oddsmakers agree and have Vegas as solid favourites, and we think they will not only win, but do so comfortably and beat the 1.5 spread. Because of this, our prediction for Golden Knights v Wild is: Golden Knights (-1.5) to win, 2.46 at FanDuel.

Prediction:
