Do I lean Wild winning? Yes. Vegas is without regular-season goalscoring leader Pavel Dorofeyev (35G, 17A in RS). But we don't turn down +1.5 on a home team in the playoffs at less than -200. You are probably fine with +1 at -122 as a push potential. But let's just pay the 60 extra cents to sit back and enjoy a possible ATS guaranteed OT win as if I am the Front Man during a particularly murderous round of Squid Game.

VGK isn't exactly rolling thru this series, forced into OT in each of the last two games before prevailing. In must-0win mode, Minnesota is likely to get Filip Gustavsson back in goal tonight after he left due to illness following the second period on Tuesday. Meanwhile, VGK is apparently minus explosive winger Pavel Dorofeyev, who led the Knights with 35 goals this season. Vegas did a better job of controlling the neutral zone and spent more time in the O-zone on Monday, but at the X-Cel Center, John Hynes has the last line shifts and has been able to match the Kirill Kaprizov line against VGK's Jack Eichel line, and mostly keeping the puck away from the most-dangerous Vegas line.
