In this article, we will formulate a Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Prediction for this NHL game on Saturday, April 27th at T-Mobilke Arena.

Stars Need This Win

The Stars need this win, there is no other way to put it. Dallas is currently down 2-0 and if they were to lose this game, The Stars were competitive in the first game against Vegas, but in the second game the offense only managed a goal and that led to the two-goal defeat. Jason Robertson did score a goal in the last game, but it wasn’t anywhere close to enough.

Goaltending Needs to be Better

Jake Oettinger started in goal and saved 23 of the 25 shots. He wasn’t terrible, but the offense couldn’t get any offense going. In the first game, Oettinger saved only 11 of the 15 shots that he faced. Jamie Benn did finish with seven shots on goal, and he did score once. The Stars’ offense is 3rd in the NHL, while the defense is ranked 8th. Robertson in the playoffs has scored two goals. 

Golden Knights Have Dominated

The Golden Knights have dominated heading into this game, and they have all kinds of confidence right now. In the last game, Vegas gave up only one goal and that led to the victory. Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault both scored a goal and added an assist. Logan Thompson saved 20 of the 21 shots that he faced, and they are going to need him to be lights out again here. In the first game of the series, the defense wasn’t as strong, but they were still able to secure the 4–3 victory. The Golden Knights offense is ranked 12th in the league, while the defense is ranked 12th. So far this postseason, Eichel has scored a goal and added three assists. Marchessault scored two goals and added an assist.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Prediction

The Stars return home, but I don’t think that is going to lead to them finding success. Oettinger hasn’t been exactly dominant in goal, and he’s not going to be dominant here. The Golden Knights offense has been impressive heading into this game, and they are going to continue the success here. Vegas will score three or four goals here, and that is going to be the difference here. The pick here is the Golden Knights on the money line.
