- The Wild are a 1.5-goal home underdog against the Golden Knights.
- The Wild have won four of their last five games as home underdogs.
- My Wild vs. Golden Knights prediction is the Vegas Golden Knights moneyline.
On the heels of two straight losses to the Wild, the Golden Knights look to level the series on Saturday.
Minnesota handed Vegas a 5-2 loss in Game 3 at Xcel Energy Center. Not only does it mark the second straight win for the Wild, but it also marks the second win by the same scoreline.
For Vegas, the consecutive defeats reverse their success against Minnesota in games prior. Prior to those two defeats, Vegas won four games in a row against the Wild.

Wild vs Golden Knights Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Wild vs. Golden Knights prediction for Thursday’s game is the Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline (-145).
History says that when an experienced team falls in the playoffs, it’s usually wise to back them in the next game.
Since 2006, road favorites within the conference that reached the playoffs the prior year are 66-38 off a loss, including 11-5 over the last 16 matches.
That system also improves exponentially when the favorite suffers a bigger defeat.
Sample the 36 teams that lost by multiple goals in that spot, and it improves to 26-10 SU, including 4-1 in the last five games.
The kicker? The system works at its best when the underdog failed to reach the playoffs the previous year, as is the case with Minnesota.
Irrespective of margin, road favorites are 26-11 against teams that failed to make the previous postseason.
Off a loss by multiple goals against those teams: 10-2 SU.
Bettors should also note these favorites tend to produce a high return on investment when it comes to covering the spread.
Favorites between -258 and -115 are 33-35 ATS for a 32% ROI against underdogs that both missed the postseason and have won two games in a row.
As a result, I like backing the Golden Knights as road favorites on Saturday.
