ASA NHL TOP PLAY ON 10* Minnesota Wild Money Line (-105) over Vegas Golden Knights, Thursday at 9:30 PM ET - The Wild won 21 of 28 home games this season. Before losing Game 2 of this series at Vegas, Minnesota's win in Game 1 made it 6 out of 7 victories for the Wild in 7 most recent meetings with the Golden Knights. Is Minnesota better than Vegas? Not on paper no but the point is that it has already been proven that the Wild do match up very well with the Golden Knights and now they are at home too! This is a very confident team on home ice and one of their biggest concerns, goaltending, is actually holding up well so far in this series. Vegas has still been without Max Pacioretty and he is a key part of their offense. If he returned tonight it would be a surprise and also it would be unlikely that he would right away be his usual self too. Pacioretty has missed quite a lot of time and there will be rust and this is now post-season speed and intensity. All factors considered and, per our computer math model, the home team offers tremendous line value in this spot. Bet Minnesota Wild -105
