The Dallas Stars will be looking to make this a best-of-3 series after getting on the board in with a 3-2 OT win in game three.

Brayden McNabb and Jack Eichel scored 3:10 apart to tie the game at two for Vegas in the second.

Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights prediction

I’m on the Golden Knights in this one. I know it’s tempting to go back to Dallas here as the road team’s dominated this series so far and it sounds crazy to think that the Stars could get pushed to the brink here. However, Vegas has been a much stronger home team this season and could easily be up 3-0 in this series had the puck not bounced Dallas’ way in game three. I trust the Golden Knights in a moment like this a lot more than I trust Dallas to be fair, so give me Vegas at home to take the 3-1 lead.
