🔥 Zeev’s Big Debut – 19-year-old Zeev Buium will make his highly anticipated NHL debut in Game 1. The dynamic defenseman is expected to bring energy, offense, and a bit of flash to Minnesota’s blue line.

🏒 Kaprizov vs. Eichel – Two of the league’s best go head-to-head. Kaprizov had two goals in the regular season vs. Vegas, while Eichel posted 5 points (3G, 2A) in three games against Minnesota.

🧱 Special Teams Battle – The Wild’s penalty kill (72.1%) will be tested by a Vegas power play clicking at 25.3%. Both teams went 0-for on the man advantage in their final regular season games.

🎯 Goaltending Spotlight – Gustavsson (22-14-7, .899 SV%) starts for Minnesota, while Logan Thompson (.908 SV%) likely goes for Vegas. Expect tight play and big saves early.

🧊 Fleury Factor – If the game gets lopsided or emotional, don’t rule out a Fleury appearance in Vegas.

📈 Momentum Matters – Minnesota enters Game 1 winning four of their last five. Vegas has dropped four of their last six. Watch the Wild try to steal Game 1 and flip home-ice early.
