Vegas coach Pete DeBoer is considering making some changes in the Golden Knights' forward lines as they try to get something past Cam Talbot, who had 42 saves in Game 1 as the Wild won 1-0 in overtime. The Knights had plenty of chances while outshooting Minnesota, 42-30, but were stymied by Talbot every time. Vegas still is 21-5-3 at home this season, and the Knights have bounced back in the playoffs after losing the first game of a series, including against Winnipeg in 2017, San Jose in 2018, and Dallas last season. Also, Vegas had only three losing streaks of at least two games this season. Marc-Andre Fleury was spectacular in net on Sunday, but couldn't overcome his team's lack of scoring. The Wild still are only 4-10 their past 14 games as playoff underdogs, and Vegas has won six straight after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game. Take the Golden Knights on the puckline.

1.5 units on Vegas -1.5 goals +170 (puckline) (risk 1.5 to return 4.05)
