This Friday night’s NHL main event will feature the clash between the Minnesota Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights, teams that have remained in the top 4 of the Western Conference during the last months. With this in mind, both teams are expected to deliver one of the most entertaining games of the weekend, as the Golden Knights will finally play back at home after one month of absence.
In this regard, a sellout is expected at T-Mobile Arena, as the Vegas Golden Knights really need some motivation after not being able to find a solid performance during the most recent matchdays. Taking these facts into consideration, the recent joining transfers of Nic Dowd, Cole Smith, and Alex Weiermair are expected to increase the internal competitiveness of the Golden Knights’ offense.
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild was finally able to end their two-game losing streak after their most recent 5-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, they currently are three points behind the second spot in the Western Conference, so winning this game isn’t optional for them. Furthermore, it cannot be forgotten that they are one of the teams with the most joining transfers during the last days, including players like Jeff Pettry, Michael McCarron, Robby Fabbri, and Roman Schmidt.
