Over 6.0(-105)

Both the Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights know how to light the lamp. The Wild received a jolt with the addition of superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes, who has racked up 7 points in 7 games with his new team. He is playing monster minutes, and can make things happen no matter where he is on the ice. The Wild have enjoyed having him in the lineup, as they’ve scored 4 or more goals in 5 of his 7 games, and are averaging exactly 4 goals per game in that span. Vegas still has plenty of question marks in net, so Minnesota should come out firing.

On the other side, the Golden Knights rank 11th in the NHL scoring 3.17 goals per game, and rank 6th with a power play converting at a strong 25.2% clip. They’ve gotten hot lately, scoring 3+ goals in 4 straight games and have found the back of the net 12 times over their last 2 games. The power play is also clicking, and Minnesota ranks 24th in the NHL with a penalty kill operating at a 77.1% rate. Look for both of these teams to have plenty of success offensively in this Monday night matchup.
