Jack Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights roll into Minnesota to take on the Minnesota Wild in a huge Western conference matchup fresh off a matchup on Saturday, a 4-1 victory for the Golden Knights in Las Vegas.

As the NHL playoffs creep closer, with only 6 regular season games left to play, the Western conference is as tight as it gets and both of these teams are looking to pick up as many points as possible for their playoff positioning.

Prediction

The NHL Western conference Standings right now are incredibly tight, especially in the Central Division.

The Wild have a narrow lead at the top of the bunch but every win is important and every point is paramount.

Minnesota has dealt with the loss of superstar forward Kiril Kaprizov as well as you could hope , going 7-2-2 since losing the talented goalscorer.

With the top 3 separated by a mere 1 point, the last 6 games of the season is going to be full of drama and that will be on display tonight.

Another meeting with Minny 👋

For the Golden Knights, their lead at the top of the Pacific division is just as tight as the Wild. The Knights hold a 1 point lead ahead of the Kings and a 2 point lead ahead of the Oilers, with 6 games to go.

It will be a race to the finish line on both sides of the West and the Knights and the Wild will be looking to bag as many points as possible in the last 10 days of the season.

Tonight, the Consensus Picks are backing the Wild to get the job done at home, and the game to go Under the 6 goal total.

I am going to ride with the Wild as well, at home, to pick up a close one and further solidify their position as the number 1 seed in the Central division.

Player Prop of the Game

Joel Eriksson Ek o2.5 SOGs (-160) Bet MGM

Let’s wrap this up with Erikkson Ek, who has picked up the slack since the injury to Kaprizov.

Joel has been firing the puck, with 3+ SOGs in 6 of his last 9 games. He also has 4+ in 4 straight games.

Against Vegas, he has 3+ SOGs in 4 of his last 5 games and 4+ in 2 straight, including 4 shots in the game over the weekend.

I like Eriksson Ek to stay hot tonight in a big game for the Wild.

Bonus: Eriksson Ek 4+ SOGs (+128)
