Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights head-to-head record
Following five encounters in which the series' momentum has fluctuated, Game 6 between the Wild and the Golden Knights is expected to be a hotly contested affair. Vegas has shown that they can finish close games under pressure by winning three of those games, including the last two by a combined score of just one goal. But when their attack is clicking, Minnesota can overwhelm the Golden Knights, as evidenced by their 5-2 victories. The pattern points to a game that might come down to the wire once more, with Minnesota trying to force another game by finding the rapid scoring that propelled them to victory in the past and Vegas hoping to capitalize on their recent clutch heroics to win the series. The outcome of what looks to be a fierce knockout match could depend on special teams and goaltending.
