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

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

Series: Golden Knights 2-0 Stars<\/h4>\n

Tonight’s featured game of NHL predictions has the Western Conference Final<\/a> shift to the Great State of Texas. The Stars are in an 0-2 hole and need a home victory in the worst way. Dallas suffered back-to-back losses for the first time in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Jake Oettinger<\/a> will most likely get the start in goal<\/a>. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Roope Hintz<\/a> continues to light it up in the post-season with 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points. Jason Robertson<\/a> is bounced back from a slow patch in the second round to be second in points. However, they’ll need some help from the supporting to cast to get back into the series.<\/p>\n

Chandler Stephenson<\/a> got the overtime-winner to give the Golden Knights a 2-0 series lead. Adin Hill<\/a> has been a capable replacement since filling for Laurent Brossoit<\/a>. Jack Eichel<\/a> is enjoying his first Stanley Cup Playoffs and is tied with Mark Stone<\/a> in points with 15. No one expected Eichel to play so well in his first post-season, but he’s doing so. Vegas has five players with double-digit points and is spreading around the goal-scoring. The Knights have staked their claim as being the best team left<\/a> in the playoffs after the surprising happenings in the East. However, there’s plenty of series left to go.<\/p>\n

Vegas has been solid, but Dallas is very good at home. The Stars find a way to get back into the series.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Stars win 3-2.<\/em><\/p>\n
