You need defense in the playoffs, especially on the road, and Minnesota is 15th in goals given up and fifth in save percentage behind goaltender Filip Gustavsson (2.56 goals against average). Minnesota went 23-13-5 on the road this season. Offensive star Kirill Kaprizov is back in the lineup after an injury, and the team's winning percentage is 61% with him. Vegas is 26th in the league in penalty killing and has lost two of its last four home contests as favorites of -160 and -142. Play Minnesota.
