Dallas will look to even the series in Las Vegas after an overtime loss. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hintzro01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Roope Hintz<\/a> recorded three points while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/r\/roberja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jason Robertson<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/paveljo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joe Pavelski<\/a> also got multiple-point nights. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/o\/oettija01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jake Oettinger<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thescore.com\/nhl\/events\/27728\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">will likely get the start<\/a> again and made 33 saves in Game 1. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Stars only took one penalty in a relatively clean game. Dallas will have to be more careful with the lead if they want to even up the series. However, the Stars are 5-0 after losses this post-season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hillad01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adin Hill<\/a> will likely get the call once again in goal for the Golden Knights. Hill has been solid since taking over for the injured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/brossla01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Laurent Brossoit<\/a> in the second round. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/howdebr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brett Howden<\/a> scored the overtime-winner in goal for the Golden Knights in Game 1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/karlswi01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">William Karlsson<\/a> scored twice for Vegas and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/whiteza01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zach Whitecloud<\/a> handed out two assists. The Golden Knights have really helped out their goalies by playing smart defence. Having a strong defensive forward like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/stonema01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-20_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mark Stone<\/a> does help a team in the middle of the ice.<\/p>\n<p>Vegas has been strong at home, but Dallas has shown the ability to bounce back. However, the Knights get the job done and take a 2-0 series lead.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Golden Knights win 4-2.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Stephen R.
