Vegas Golden Knights

Golden Knights (50-22-10) VS WIld (45-30-7)

Minnesota Wild
Moneyline Pick - Vegas Golden Knights (-145): B

The Vegas Golden Knights head to Saint Paul needing a win to tie the series, while the Minnesota Wild look to take a 3-1 lead and almost lock in a series win. Minnesota’s offensive leaders have been quieter against Vegas in recent meetings, managing only a few even-strength goals combined. On the other side, Vegas holds a major edge in net and on special teams, backed by a strong road power play and a penalty kill mismatch favoring the visitors.

Vegas’ deeper and healthier blue-line group gives them the upper hand, especially with steadier goaltending to lean on. Taking the Golden Knights on the moneyline earns a solid B-grade for value, even if it's not quite a slam-dunk.

Over/Under Pick - Under 6 (-115): B

The Vegas Golden Knights head into Minnesota needing a win, though they remain without a key piece up front as they push for better playoff positioning. Meanwhile, the Wild come in with a 2-1 series lead but missing a critical veteran presence in the crease, putting additional pressure on a defense that’s already struggled against top-tier competition. In net, both sides bring steady recent form, setting the stage for a tight, defensive-minded battle.

With the series arguably on the line for Vegas and a history of low-scoring affairs between them, the expectation leans toward a slower, whistle-heavy style that limits offensive bursts. Taking the Under six goals looks like the smart play, fitting the profile of two teams more focused on minimizing mistakes than trading chances.

Puckline Pick - Vegas Golden Knights, -1.5 (-175): B+

The Vegas Golden Knights ride into Minnesota already in a must win mode, while the Wild come in leading the series but with ongoing concerns about their top-line health. Vegas should have the advantage offensively against a blue line still missing key contributors, and they also carry a clear edge in net thanks to stronger recent form.

With Game 4 possibly being the start of the end for Vegas' time in the playoffs, Minnesota may be aggressive late if they're trailing, creating extra opportunities for Vegas to extend any lead. Backing the Golden Knights on the -1.5 puckline earns a strong B+ grade, fueled by momentum, health advantages, and the likelihood of late-game open-net scenarios.
