Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Prediction
The Dallas Stars have completely flipped this series on its head after dropping the first two games at home and putting themselves in a hole. The Stars have outplayed Vegas in the last 3 games and now go on the road, where they’re 28-10-5 on the season. The Stars should be favored given the recent results. With all that said, the Golden Knights are a team of champions, and I have a hard time believing they go down this easily. The Golden Knights have seen 27 of their 47 wins come at home this season and despite dropping 3 straight to the Stars, they’ve won 6 of the last 9 games overall. We’re getting even money with the desperate home team. Give me the Golden Knights.
