A win tonight for the Vegas Golden Knights would mean four straight victories and a spot in the second round against the Colorado Avalanche. They traveled to Minnesota and won both games against the Wild. If they can get another win tonight, they won’t need to go back up north, instead they would stay in Vegas to rest up in preparation for the Avalanche.
A win for the Wild would mean that they would put themselves back in this series and build a potential pathway to victory. Considering they have had two consecutive games where calls against them drastically changed the momentum, the Wild are sure to come out tonight with some fire.
