The Dallas Stars (1-0-0) and Vegas Golden Knights (3-0-0) meet Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Golden Knights odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

We get a rematch of last season’s Western Conference semifinals series, which went in favor of the Golden Knights in 6 games.

We’ve seen the Stars just once this season, an underwhelming 2-1 home victory in a shootout against the St. Louis Blues.

The Golden Knights have won all 3 of their games to date, winning by the same exact 4-1 score in all of the contests. Vegas has wins over the Seattle Kraken, San Jose Sharks and Anaheim Ducks, cashing the Under in each of the outings.

Stars at Golden Knights projected goalies

Jake Oettinger (1-0-0, 0.92 GAA, .958 SV%) vs. Adin Hill (2-0-0, 1.01 GAA, .964 SV%)

Oettinger was sharp in his first and only appearance of the new season, turning aside 23 of the 24 shots he faced against the Blues. He was dominant against the Golden Knights in the regular season in 2022-23, going 3-0-0 with a 0.96 GAA and .967 SV% with a shutout.

Hill, the Stanley Cup hero, has picked up right where he left off. He has allowed just 2 goals on 56 shots with a tremendous save percentage. Hill didn’t face the Stars in the regular season in 2022-23, but he did win 4 of 6 starts in the playoff series, so there’s that.

Stars at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 3, Stars 2

Moneyline

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-115) are worth a play, as Vegas looks to stay perfect on the season. It’s a tall order against the Stars (-105), who dominated the regular-season series in 2022-23.

However, VGK has been consistent so far in the new season, and they have plenty of momentum, while the Stars got things started, then due to a scheduling quirk, they have had time off. That’s hard to develop early-season chemistry.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Stars +1.5 (-250) will cost you 2½ times your potential return, and that’s just way too much risk for not nearly enough reward. If you like Dallas, particularly due to its 3-game dominance in the regular season, just play it straight up.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 6 (-120) is the best play on the board in this playoff series rematch.

Oettinger picked up right where he left off in the playoffs, shutting down the Blues in the opener, allowing just a single goal. Hill has also allowed just 2 total goals in his 2 starts to date. We have seen a lot of offense around the NHL, but goals should be at a premium in this battle.

The Dallas Stars have their backs against the wall against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 of their Western Conference Final playoff series Saturday, trailing 3-1. Puck drop at T-Mobile Arena is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Golden Knights odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Dallas made us look like prophets with a 3-2 overtime winner in Game 4 to extend the series, cashing all 3 wagers and nailing the final score. The Stars still trail 3-1 and will push Saturday to get back home for a Game 6.

The Stars will again be without captain LW Jamie Benn, who will serve the 2nd game of a 2-game suspension for a cross-check in Game 3. RW Evgenii Dadonov will also be out due to a lower-body injury.

Vegas played a solid game in Game 4, and G Adin Hill stopped 39 of 42 shots. Dallas just wanted that one more but now we’re back in Las Vegas for another possible clincher in Game 5. RW Jonathan Marchessault is on another planet right now with goals in 3 straight games and 6 goals in his last 5 games.

Stars at Golden Knights projected goalies

Jake Oettinger (37-11-11, 2.37 GAA, .919 SV%, 5 SO – regular season) vs. Adin Hill (16-7-1, 2.50 GAA, .915 SV%, 0 SO – regular season)

Oettinger stepped up in Game 4, stopping 37 of 39 shots in what was easily his best performance of the series. The win stopped a 3-game skid and he has lost 4 of his last 5 starts and needs to get right. He stopped 54 of 61 shots in the first 2 games in Vegas for a .885 SV%. He’ll need to be better than that to extend the series again.

Hill was great in Game 4, but Dallas got to him in overtime on the power play. He has a .943 SV% in the series, which is elite status. He also has the luxury of knowing that even if he gives up 3, his offense is firing on all cylinders and may still do enough to advance.

Stars at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Stars 3

Moneyline

The Stars keep it tight, but the Golden Knights ultimately have too much ammo with Hill playing the best hockey of his life. Vegas’ motto for this one should be: “Score 4 and say no more”, because Dallas has yet to do that in the series.

Take the GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-145).

Puck line/Against the spread

No interest in either puck line here again, but I do see something I like in the Win/Total section.

Take GOLDEN KNIGHTS TO WIN AND OVER 4.5 GOALS (+125). That covers you in the event of yet another overtime, and we have had 5 goals in each game except the one Dallas was shut out in.

Over/Under

The Under has cashed in the last 3 games of the series, and it’s a toss-up whether we have a 3-2 or 4-3 finish on Saturday. My thought process is that these teams empty the tank, but Dallas is missing 2 key players and Oettinger doesn’t look right between the pipes. Someone will need to score 4, and Vegas has done it twice in the 4 games.

LEAN OVER 5.5 (-110).

The Dallas Stars meet the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 of their Western Conference Final playoff series Sunday. Puck drop at T-Mobile Arena is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Golden Knights odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

Dallas nearly took Game 1, but ultimately fell 4-3 in overtime. LW Jason Robertson put one in the net with under 2 minutes to go in the 1st, but the sides were tied at 1 entering the 3rd. Each team traded goals in the 3rd as LW Jamie Benn tied the game with under 2 minutes to go. The Stars couldn’t finish it off and have now dropped all 3 Game 1’s these playoffs in overtime.

VGK held serve after C Brett Howden, who had just 13 points in the regular season, grabbed the puck from behind the net and jammed it in the right side for the game-winner. C William Karlsson had 2 goals in the game to give him 7 in the playoffs. Vegas has yet to go up 2-0 at home in these playoffs.

Oettinger stopped 33 of 37 shots fired his way in Game 1. We have talked about it all postseason. He is 22-1-3 this season following a loss and has not lost consecutive games in these playoffs.. He went 3-0-0 with a 0.96 GAA and .967 SV% against Vegas in the regular season.

Hill was solid in Game 1 with 33 saves on 36 shots. He’s a bend-but-don’t-break goalie with at least 2 goals allowed in each of his 4 starts. He is 4-1 with a 2.34 GAA and .930 SV% in 4 starts and 6 games overall in the playoffs.

Stars at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Stars 3, Golden Knights 2

Moneyline

Dallas won all 3 games in the regular season and has won 7 of 11 against Vegas. They’ve been close games, though, as 3 of the last 4 regular-season games went to a shootout, and Game 1 needed OT.

We enter Game 2 with identical odds on the moneyline, but this time I’m siding with the STARS (+105). Oettinger’s record after a loss is crazy, but there is a big enough sample size to back it. Dallas is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings, and the underdog has prevailed in 6 of 8.

Puck line/Against the spread

VGK couldn’t secure the puck-line victory in Game 1, and Dallas is priced out at -250. We’re going to PASS here as Dallas’ ML is at plus-money, and Vegas’ ML is at a solid -125 if you’re feeling them in Game 2.

Over/Under

The Over broke some trends and cashed in Game 1. The previous 4 games between the teams had 5 goals or fewer. The Under is 9-2-1 in the last 12 meetings and 4-1-1 in the last 6 in Vegas.

It’s just a LEAN, but Oettinger holds the cards in this game going UNDER 5.5 (-110).

Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Golden Knights odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.

The Stars eliminated the Seattle Kraken in 7 games to advance in the Western Conference and face Vegas in a rematch of the 2020 Western Conference Final. Dallas coach Pete DeBoer was behind the bench for Vegas in that series. C Roope Hintz leads the team with 9 goals and 19 points this postseason while C Joe Pavelski has 8 goals in as many games.

The Golden Knights conquered the Edmonton Oilers in 6 games to advance. They’re led by C Jack Eichel (6 goals, 8 assists), who is coming of age in his first playoffs. Vegas is a deep team with 4 lines that can beat you.

Oettinger has been hit-or-miss this postseason, but he’s by far the best goaltender left in these playoffs. His slides don’t last long as he’s 22-1-3 this season following a loss. He went 3-0-0 with a 0.96 GAA and .967 SV% against Vegas this season.

Hill came on in Game 3 against Edmonton after Laurent Brossoit went down to injury and stabilized the troops. He was 3-1 with a 2.19 GAA and .934 SV% in the series. He did not face Dallas in the regular season.

Stars at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Stars 1

Moneyline

Dallas won all 3 games this season and has won 7 of 10 against Vegas. They’ve been close games, though, as 3 of the last 4 went to the shootout. However, Vegas has only lost 3 games this postseason and Dallas dropped Game 1 in their building in both series thus far. I think Dallas gets one in Vegas, but I’ll side with the GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-125) in Game 1.

Puck line/Against the spread

Six of Vegas’ 8 wins this postseason have been by multiple goals. Three of Dallas’ 5 losses in these playoffs have been by at least 3 goals. So you’re really rolling the dice each night to see what Dallas team shows up. I think Vegas starts fast and doesn’t look back.

Take GOLDEN KNIGHTS -1.5 (+200) to win 2 times your initial wager.

Over/Under

The last 4 games between the teams had 5 goals or fewer. The Under is 7-1-3 in the Stars’ last 11 Conference Final games. The Under is 6-0-1 in Vegas’ last 7 Conference Final games. The Under is 12-3-2 in the last 17 meetings and 4-1-1 in the last 6 in Vegas.

LEAN UNDER 5.5 (-115).
