For those who have followed the Minnesota Wild closely this season, it’s become a bit of a consensus among fans that the Wild match up best against the Vegas Golden Knights for the first round of the playoffs. In the past six games between the teams, the Wild are 4-2-0, although one of those wins came in the shootout. Based on that record, one would hope for a fairly even matchup between the two teams in a playoff matchup. In the upcoming two-game series, we’ll see if that’s really true, or if the past six games Minnesota has played against Vegas have involved some luck.
