Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Prediction
I’m with Vegas here. The Golden Knights tend to play their best hockey at home, to begin with, but this is a fired-up Vegas team as I’m sure they’ve had this date circled up to this point in the year with this being the first chance at the Dallas Stars, the same team that knocked them out of the postseason last year. Dallas has been solid, but they’ve also done their best work at home, just like Vegas, and I think that the Golden Knights find a way to get the job done and exact some revenge here.
