Vegas Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars

Betting Trends
- Dallas have lost four of their previous five games on home ice to the Golden Knights.
- Dallas are 12-2 in their last 14 games.
Dallas Can Dominate on Home Ice
Despite the Dallas Stars having struggled in previous home games against the Golden Knights, we believe they can control the pace of play in this matchup, with the road team missing some key players.
Even if Vegas was at full health player-wise, we would make it more of a 50/50 game and still likely edge with the Stars at -120 NHL odds, so we are more than prepared to take them to win in a bounce-back spot in front of their home fans in the first game of the postseason.
The Pick
The Stars know they will not win this series 4-0, but starting with a win on home ice in game one of the playoffs is how they would like to get the ball rolling this post-season. The Golden Knights are weak and the time to strike is now.
