NHL Predictions<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights<\/h3>\n

Series: Stars 0-0 Golden Knights<\/h4>\n

Our featured and only game of NHL predictions has the Western Conference Final<\/a> kicking off. Dallas will look to get off to a better start than it has the first two series. Jake Oettinger<\/a> will likely get the start once again<\/a> for the Stars. Roope Hintz<\/a> leads the team in goals with nine and points with 19. Joe Pavelski<\/a> is second in goals with eight and Miro Heiskanen<\/a> did plenty of lifting in Game 7 of the series against the Seattle Kraken<\/a>. The Stars have been up-and-down, but have done well handling adversity. Pavelski, Max Domi<\/a> and Jamie Benn<\/a> are also in double digits in points.<\/p>\n

Vegas will likely start Adin Hill<\/a> in goal as it tries to book its second trip to the Stanley Cup Final in franchise history. Jack Eichel<\/a> is enjoying his first post-season experience with 14 points. Eichel and Chandler Stephenson<\/a> are tied for the team-lead in goals with six. Mark Stone<\/a> and Jonathan Marchessault<\/a> are also above 10 points for the Golden Knights. Vegas was able to find a way to deal with the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> and their deadly power play.<\/p>\n

Game 1s haven’t been pleasant for Dallas and going into T-Mobile Arena isn’t a picnic. The Golden Knights start the series with a victory that hopefully won’t take four overtimes.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Golden Knights win 4-2.<\/em><\/p>\n
