Vegas Golden Knights vs. Minnesota Wild Game 3 pick and predictions

This best-of-seven series is all tied up heading to Minnesota for Game 3 on Thursday night after the Wild pulled off a 5-2 victory in Game 2 despite only putting 17 shots on goal. Vegas took Game 1 of the series, 4-2, and dominated the regular-season series with the Wild, taking all three matchups.

The dynamic Wild duo of Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov has combined for nine points through the first two games of the series and five goals. Boldy, who is +200 to find the back of the net on Thursday, has scored in three straight games and four of his last seven.

Another player to keep an eye on from a props perspective is Vegas winger Pavel Dorofeyev, who has recorded over 2.5 shots on goal in nine straight games dating back to the regular season, averaging four per game during that span. He’s -165 to record over 2.5 shots on goal on Thursday and +155 to record four or more. He’s playing on the team’s second line alongside Brandon Saad and Tomas Hertl, but is really piling the shots up on the Knights’ top power-play unit, which is 2-for-2 in this series.

One more betting nugget to keep in mind: the Wild went 15-26 on the puck line at home during the regular season despite owning a 22-17 straight-up record. Only the Edmonton Oilers were worse on the puck line (13-28) this season.

Pick: Pavel Dorofeyev 4+ Shots on Goal (+155)
