Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild Predictions

Score Prediction Wild 3 Golden Knights 2Another game with two playoff-bound teams, although there is little chance they end up meeting in the first round. Vegas is still trying to lock up the top spot right now and their schedule could be easier.

They've still got to find a way to bring home a few more points in these next 10 days, and after piling up the wins on Arizona (3-1), Anaheim (3-0), LA (2-0), San Jose (2-0), and one against Colorado in their last 12 games, this might be that needed step up in competition the Knights might not be ready for.

I've talked about teams in other division's going on long winning stretches in large part because of the soft schedule, and I think Vegas backers have to be concerned about that here. It's a game that could resemble a playoff one very early with both sides interested in those two points, as I don't think the extra time is out of the question either.

Taking the PL with the Wild covers most of those outcomes.
