This is the first game of a best-of-seven series between these Stanley Cup hopeful teams. The Wild enter the postseason with a 45-30-7 record, sneaking into the playoffs as one of the Wild Card teams in the Western Conference. The Golden Knights finished with a 50-22-10 record, edging out the Kings and Oilers for top spot in the Pacific Division, claiming home ice advantage in this series.
Jack Eichel is playing the best hockey he has ever played during his stellar career. He nearly reached the 100-point mark this season, with 66 assists and 28 goals, and will look to lead his team on a deep playoff run, similar to the one in 2023 when they won the Stanley Cup.
Matt Boldy will have to try to match the production of Eichel to give the Wild the best chance at pulling off the upset. Boldy led Minnesota in points (73), assists (46), and goals (27) this season. The Wild won four of their last five games of the regular season, all in overtime, which will give them confidence if their game is close down the stretch.
This is a great NHL Playoff matchup that will not disappoint; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
