Randy’s Pick
Right when it looked like the Vegas Golden Knights had complete control of the series, the Dallas Stars show some fight and now have a good chance to force this thing to a game 7. The Stars outplayed the Golden Knights on the road in game 5, a clean game where there was just one penalty for the entire contest. The Stars have played their best at home all year, and I’d honestly need more bang for my buck if siding with Vegas. I’ll lay the cheap price with the home team.
