Vegas Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Dallas Stars host the Vegas Golden Knights for a bigtime Western Conference matchup. This game sets up the first battle of two within a week, and should bring plenty of fireworks.

These are teams who should be contending for the Stanley Cup when the time comes, and both should realize this is a great test to show the NHL how strong they are. To get you prepared for the action, here are our Golden Knights vs. Stars predictions.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Dallas Stars betting picks and predictions

Vegas Golden Knights +1.5 (-220)

The Vegas Golden Knights are playing their second road game in as many nights, but the fact remains they are one of the best teams in the entire NHL.

Playing two nights with travel is a task, but one a championship-built team can handle. 

As far as a winner goes, this could go either way as both teams are the real deal with the Golden Knights second in the West, five points and three places ahead of Dallas having played a game more.

With that being said, this game should be close right until the end and is expected to finish within one goal either way.

Over 6.0 (+100)

When looking at the NHL’s top scoring teams, both Dallas and Vegas are up there with the best. Vegas is averaging 3.4 goals per game which is fourth overall, while Dallas scores 3.1 goals per game, good enough for a top-10 ranking.

Star talent is prevalent in this game with guys like Mark Stone, Jack Eichel, Jason Robertson, and Wyatt Johnston hitting the ice, along with elite supporting casts. Each line can bury the puck, as well as some offensively-minded star defensemen on each end.

While we may see some big-name goaltenders hit the ice, I think offense will take over in this one and both teams should combine for over 6.0 goals.

Jake Oettinger over 24.5 saves (+100)

Vegas is a high-flying team that loves to shoot the puck. They are fourth in the league in shots with 1,479, and even though Dallas does not usually allow a ton of shots, I think Vegas will be throwing a lot in Jake Oettinger’s way.

This is a game that should be very close, and will require offense. Vegas should be able to sustain lots of pressure and make sur Oettinger has a very busy night.

Oettinger has been fantastic this season as he continues to build himself as one of the best in the league, and he will be needed to try and help the Stars keep the visitors at bay.
