Vegas Golden Knights vs Minnesota Wild Moneyline
- Vegas Golden Knights -160
- Minnesota Wild +140
Vegas largely dominated game one by winning 62.1% of the faceoffs and getting 42 shots on net, but couldn’t find a hole as the Wild’s goalie, Cam Talbot, saved each shot sent his way as the Wild won 1-0 in overtime.

The Wizards have won 15 of their last 20 games and some would argue their record should be even better. Their five losses over that span are by a combined 10 points.
