Not only is Minnesota facing an elimination game, but the Wild also has to prove it won't lie down after two weak performances in Games 3 and 4. The Wild had a 2-0 lead in Game 3 and thought it scored again to make it 3-0, but an offside call negated the goal, the team fell apart, and it carried over into Game 4. Vegas had only 18 shots on goal on Saturday compared to 40 the game before, but the Golden Knights were able to capitalize unlike the Wild as Marc-Andre Fleury had 35 saves for the Knights. Vegas has lost four of its past five playoff games as a favorite and Minnesota does not want to go into the offseason losing three games in a row in a choking fashion after winning Game 1. Play the Wild on the puck line.
