Check our Golden Knights vs. Wild game 6 prediction. The Vegas Golden Knights head to the Xcel Energy Center to take on the Minnesota Wild in Game 6 of the NHL Playoffs First Round on Thursday night. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Vegas leads the series 3-2 after a dominant showing in Game 5, and now has a chance to close things out on the road. But don’t count out Minnesota — the Wild have been tough at home and are 6-2-2 in their last 10, riding an offensive surge that’s helped them stay alive.
Vegas remains the betting favorite behind a top-tier offense and a defense that’s been one of the stingiest in the NHL. Meanwhile, the Wild will look to continue producing on offense while tightening up their back end.
With a total set at 5.5, oddsmakers expect a relatively tight, but action-packed game. If the Wild want to force Game 7, they’ll need Filip Gustavsson to return strong and Matthew Boldy to lead the charge again.
