PREVIEW & TIPS Minnesota Wild VS Vegas Golden Knights
Konstanz is the mother of the china box, at least when it comes to the Minnesota Wild, which is currently the NHL’s lucky bag. They alternate extremely good and extremely bad games more often than any other NHL team.
The season of the Vegas Golden Knights runs in the opposite direction, thanks to their defensive strength they play a calm and successful season and were able to win eight of their last ten games.

The Wild were one of the teams that had to be temporarily quarantined for ten days. As a result, they now have to catch up with games and have back-to-back games significantly more often than other teams. So z. B. against the Kings or the Coyotes last week. You can tell a bit about this wear and tear on them. Against Arizona they even gambled away a 2-0 lead after the first third, only to be left behind with 2: 5 in the end.
The matchup against the Golden Knights is not exactly convenient for them, because hardly any other team lives from their physique and their speed as the Golden Knights. This was already taken into account in the Expansion Draft and this strength has not diminished since then. So not too much speaks for a somewhat tired Wild team on Monday. Against the Coyotes on Saturday, this was also evident in the statistics – there they were hopelessly behind with the hits they had with 17:26.
Vegas Golden Knights News
The Golden Knights are still leading the West Division and if we clean up the table after games, then their lead is currently five to six points. First place in the division is therefore within reach. However, they must not allow themselves a phase of weakness, which, however, does not look like it either. They can often win even worse games thanks to one key position: their goaltending.
When the Knights selected Marc-Andre Fleury from the Pittsburgh Penguins as their expansion draft pick four years ago, some of them smiled at him because he was getting on in years. Today at 36 he is in the shape of his life. 94.2% catch quota means the best catch quota of all goalies with at least five starts. His goalscoring average of just 1.60 is also the best in the league. Especially after the injury of backup Robin Lehner, his importance has increased again – and he confirms it impressively.
