Vegas outshot the Wild 40-14 in Game 5 on Monday and still lost 4-2. Cam Talbot put in a stellar performance with 38 saves, and the Golden Knights also missed on several quality scoring chances. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 10 of 13 shots and wasn't really the problem, but Minnesota scored three goals in the first period and played like the desperate situation they were in being down 3-1 in the series. Home ice hasn't meant much in this series and Vegas already has gotten the proverbial monkey off its back getting its first two wins in regulation in franchise history at Minnesota. The Knights are 40-14 their past 54 games as favorites and 19-7 overall their past 26 road games. The Wild still is 11-27 its past 38 playoff games as underdogs. Play the Golden Knights as my second Max Play.
