- Analysis
- The Golden Knights are coming into this game down 2-1 in the series and it is going to be all hands on deck for this game. They started the series good with a 4-2 win at home, but they have lost the last 2 straight games with both losses coming by a score of 5-2. They have been down very early in both of these games, but they are going to be hungry to bounce back and even up this series so they will tighten up on defense in this game. They need this win to get the home advantage back in the series as well and a loss would mean they go back home facing elimination in the next game so they are going to get up for this game. The Wild were good during the regular season, but they did slip down the standings quite a bit over the last 2 months and they even needed every last game just to clinch their Wild Card spot. They also struggled a lot against the Golden Knights this season as they lost all 3 meetings in the regular season and only scored 4 goals total in those 3 games. The Golden Knights also won 2 of those 3 games in Minnesota so they know how to beat this team on the road and they have been the much stronger team all season. The Golden Knights have had a lot of success in the playoffs in recent years as well, even winning the Stanley Cup 2 years ago, so they have the playoff experience to lean on while the Wild do not so the Golden Knights are going to dig deep here to even up this series. The Golden Knights will win this game.
