Both teams need to win this clash to increase their chances in the fight for a wild card place in the Western Conference but I am backing Dallas Stars to edge this game. There won’t be much in it.

Dallas Stars Form
Dallas are looking to carry on the form they have shown since the middle of November only losing 1 game in the last 10 games and have won 7 games in a row scoring 24 goals in the process. Dallas were on a record of 4-6-2 on November 10th and nearly a month later are on 13 wins looking to go level on wins with the Knights.
Joe Pavelski is the main threat going forward for the Stars scoring 9 points in the last 5 games and leads the points charts for this Dallas side. He is also 2nd in the goals and the assists charts which shows he can contribute in any way to help his side with their wild card push.
Another threat for the Dallas Stars is LW Roope Hintz, who leads the team in goals this season scoring 4 more goals than his teammate Pavelski.

Vegas Golden Knights Form
Vegas Golden Knights are looking to get a good run of form to try and make sure they keep their perfect record of qualifying for the playoffs every year since they entered the league in 2017.
In order to do that they need to rely on their captain Mark Stone who has 12 points in as many games this season and will need to show how good his leadership skills are if they want any chance of a wild card spot in April.
Another threat that Vegas have is Chandler Stephenson, who leads the points tally for the Knights. He also shows that he’s needed to up the shorthanded goals stats as he has 2 shorthanded goals out of the Golden Knights 6 altogether.
But with all the options up front, the defense must be the issue ranking 20th in goals against average. They also like having the game done as soon as with no losses on the Golden Knights record has happened in overtime.
The Golden Knights have a 83.8% Penalty Kill rate which is the 8th highest in the league.
Robin Lehner has a goals against average is 3.02 and a save percentage of .910.
