Vegas Golden Knights at Dallas Stars Preview & Picks

Vegas are tipped to win as an underdog in Game 1.

The Golden Knights are getting healthier and their recent track record against Dallas makes them a very appealing pick.

  • Vegas Golden Knights swept the regular season series
  • Vegas Golden Knights are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings with Dallas
  • Vegas Golden Knights are 4-1 in their last 5 visits to Dallas
  • The Under has cashed in 9 of the last 11 meetings in Dallas

Head To Head

  • Vegas Golden Knights won the regular season series 3-0
  • Vegas Golden Knights won 6-1 when the two teams last met on December 9

Vegas Golden Knights Form

Vegas finished the regular season in fourth place in the Pacific Division, having compiled a 45-29-8 record.

The Golden Knights blew hot and cold over the final few weeks of the season and enter the playoffs having lost four of their last seven games.

This sequence started with a run of three consecutive defeats on the road, as they lost 7-4 in Arizona, 4-3 at Vancouver and 5-1 in Edmonton.

Vegas stopped the rot when they returned home though, beating Minnesota 7-2, Colorado 4-3 in overtime and Chicago 3-1 in regulation.

The Golden Knights failed to make it four-in-a-row however, as they wrapped up the regular season with a 4-1 defeat to Anaheim.

Dallas Stars Form

Dallas compiled a 52-21-9 regular-season record to fend off Winnipeg and finish top of the Central Division.

The Stars made sure of another division crown by winning 12 of their final 14 games in the regular season.

This sequence started with an eight-game win streak that saw them win four home games and four road games.

Dallas then bounced back from a surprise 3-2 defeat in Chicago with a 7-4 victory at Colorado and a 3-2 win at home to Buffalo.

The Stars then responded to a 3-0 loss to Winnipeg by closing out the regular season with a 3-1 win over Seattle and a shootout success against St Louis.

Verdict

Dallas are the team in better form, but we cannot ignore Vegas’ recent record against them.

The Golden Knights won all three regular season meetings and blew out the Stars on the road in the last one, so the visitors make for a tempting underdog.
