Filip Gustavsson vs. Adin Hill

The playoffs are here and the intensity just cranked to eleven! It’s the Wild (45-30-7) clashing with the Golden Knights (50-22-10) in Game 2, with Filip Gustavsson and Adin Hill set to square off in goal once again.

Gustavsson was decent in Game 1, turning aside 23 of 26, but Vegas found a way to chip one past him in every period. He’s still Minnesota’s go-to guy, but his shaky end to the regular season leaves a sliver of doubt—Marc-André Fleury is waiting in the wings if things slip.

On the flip side, Hill came up clutch for the Knights. Just two goals allowed, steady positioning, and the calm of a Cup winner. He’s locked in with nine wins in his last 11 starts.

This series? Far from over. Game 2’s about to bring the heat.

Minnesota Wild

With a 2-1 overtime victory against the Maple Leafs, the Wild improved to 45-30-7 this season. Minnesota, favored on the puck line, didn’t cover, and the total of 3 goals fell short of the pre-game line of 6.

Ryan Hartman and Matt Boldy each scored for the Wild, who took the lead at 9:41 in the first period. The Maple Leafs tied it up later in the first, but Boldy’s goal at 2:14 in overtime secured the win for Minnesota.

Minnesota Wild Stats

Ryan Hartman netted his third goal of the season, getting the Wild on the board at 9:41 in the first period. Matt Boldy followed with his sixth goal, scoring 2:14 into overtime to seal the 2-1 win over Toronto.

Jared Spurgeon added two assists, bringing his season total to three. The Wild fired 33 shots on goal but were held scoreless in the second and third periods.

Defensively, the Wild will look to build on their last performance, where they allowed just one goal to Toronto. Filip Gustavsson made 27 saves with a 96.4% save percentage, and the defense added 7 takeaways and 22 hits. The only goal they allowed came on a power play late in the 1st period.

Vegas Golden Knights

With a 4-3 overtime win against the Utah Hockey Club, the Golden Knights improved to 50-22-10. Vegas was favored on the puck line, but failed to cover. The total for the game was set at 6.5 goals, and the combined 7 goals surpassed that mark.

After falling behind 2-0, the Golden Knights rallied with four different players scoring. Brett Howden netted the game-winner at 2:15 into overtime.

Vegas Golden Knights Stats

Vegas fired 35 shots on goal in their 4-3 overtime win, with Brett Howden netting his 6th goal of the season in OT. William Karlsson added his 2nd goal of the year, while Pavel Dorofeyev scored his 7th and Noah Hanifin his 2nd.

Hanifin also picked up two assists, bringing his total to 5 for the season. The Golden Knights were held scoreless in the first period before Dorofeyev got them on the board at 4:54 in the second.

Defensively, the Golden Knights will aim for a stronger start in their next game, as they allowed the first two goals against Utah. The first came at 11:52 in the first period, and the second at 12:00 in the second. After taking a 3-2 lead at 5:37 in the third, Vegas gave up another goal at 13:10, sending the game to overtime. Adin Hill finished with a save percentage of 84.2%, making 16 saves on 19 shots.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Wild +1.5

To those searching for a pure moneyline wager, the Golden Knights is the clear pick. Still, with a payout of -239, it’s worth thinking about including this bet in a parlay.

For my recommended choice in the puck line, I’m leaning towards the Wild to cover. Even if the Golden Knights secure a straight-up win, this game is expected to be tightly contested, and the Wild should cover the puck line.

With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
