Minnesota Wild has demonstrated enough potential to become one of the biggest surprises in the first round of the playoffs after their shocking victory over Vegas Golden Knights in the second game of the series (2-5), being very good news for them that Kirill Kaprizov scored twice. However, the Golden Knights are expected to look up for immediate revenge in their first away game of the series.
Most of that expectation is based on the difficulties that Minnesota Wild has recently had when playing at home, as they currently hold a streak of 4 games without winning in regulation time. Those results are really concerning when taking into consideration that they faced really weak teams like Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks within that streak, so it makes sense to have Vegas as the slight favorites to win this game.
Nonetheless, it also must be noted that Vegas Golden Knights were only offensively effective during their last 2 away games, in which they were able to score 4 goals per game. Despite that, it’s remarkable that the Golden Knights conceded more than 2 goals in only one out of their last five away games, a streak that will be very important to sustain in such important stages of the tournament.
