Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights: Under 5.5 Total Goals (+114)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds for this game are offering a chance to bet on under 5.5 total goals at plus money. Our numbers see this matchup between the Minnesota Wild and the Vegas Golden Knights as very close, almost like a coin flip. Both teams have shown they can struggle to score consistently, with Minnesota winning only 4 of their last 10 games and Vegas at 5 wins in the same span.
The risk here is that both teams could surprise us and find a way to score more, but with each side still finding their rhythm, under 5.5 goals seems like a solid bet.
Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights: Vegas Golden Knights 3-Way Moneyline (+145)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Vegas Golden Knights have been a bit stronger lately, winning 5 of their last 10 games. They have a solid shot as they head into Minnesota, where the Wild have only won 4 of their last 10. Playing at home can help, but both teams are still finding their rhythm this season.
The Golden Knights' balance with shooters gives them a good chance to score. While it's always possible for the Wild to pull off a win at home, the Knights seem to have a better recent form. At +145 odds, this bet on the Golden Knights as the underdog could be worth a shot.
Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights: Vegas Golden Knights +1.5 Puck Line (-270)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Minnesota Wild have only won 4 out of their last 10 games, which shows they might be struggling a bit. The Vegas Golden Knights, on the other hand, have a solid chance to keep it close, especially with the puck line at +1.5. This means they can lose by just one goal, and you still win the bet.
One thing to watch out for is that a few players on the Golden Knights haven't played much this season, which could affect their teamwork. However, with their stronger overall performance and the Wild's recent struggles, I think the Knights can handle the pressure at the Grand Casino Arena.
Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights: Jesper Wallstedt Over 26.5 Saves (-108)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Jesper Wallstedt has been busy this season, making plenty of saves for the Minnesota Wild despite their recent struggles, winning only 4 of their last 10 games. With the Vegas Golden Knights coming to town, Wallstedt is likely to face a lot of shots, especially since they've won 5 of their last 10. Given how these teams both like to shoot, betting on him to make over 26.5 saves feels like a solid choice.
The risk here is that both teams are pretty close in skill, which might mean fewer chances for Wallstedt than expected. Still, with a strong chance for a busy night in net, it's hard to see him not hitting that saves mark.
Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights: Kirill Kaprizov Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (-141)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The odds are set at -141 for Kirill Kaprizov to have under 3.5 shots on goal. Our numbers suggest there's a good chance he won't reach that mark. The Minnesota Wild have struggled lately, winning only 4 of their last 10 games, which can make it tough for Kaprizov to find scoring chances.
Also, the Vegas Golden Knights are a solid team and have won 5 of their last 10 games. This matchup could be close, and with both teams in this new season, the pressure is on. The main risk here is that Kaprizov is a key player, and he could surprise us, but the overall trends lean towards him having fewer shots than expected.
Minnesota Wild vs Vegas Golden Knights: Mitch Marner Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+142)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Mitch Marner has been a solid player for the Minnesota Wild, and he's been putting pucks on net lately. He's got a good chance to get over 2.5 shots against the Vegas Golden Knights, who have allowed a fair number of shots in their recent games. Plus, the Wild need to score to keep up with Vegas, who has won more games recently.
The risk here is that both teams are closely matched, so the game could be tighter than expected. Still, with Marner's shooting ability and the Wild's need for offense, this bet feels like it has a good shot. At +142 odds, it's worth considering if you're feeling lucky!
