Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights Best Bets:

• Golden Knights ML (-125)

• Under 5.5 goals (+100)

The Golden Knights are coming off a solid bounce back performance in a dominant 4-1 victory versus the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers. Before the win, they had been experiencing a rough patch with a 2-6-1 record and a 3.33 goals against average in their prior nine games.

They will look to build off the win when hosting the Stars, who beat them 4-3 in their previous matchup in late January. They've split their season series so far with a win a piece and will look for a much needed win in this spot as both teams are second in their division and would love to gain ground on the top seed.

Vegas is just one point behind the Oilers for the top spot in the Pacific and will look to get a big win at home where they excel with a 19-6-1 record due to their top five home offence and defence. The Stars will have the advantage of rolling out netminder Jake Oettinger, who dominates the Golden Knights with a 5-2-2 record, a 2.26 goals against average and a .920 save percentage in nine career starts versus Vegas. He should help keep the Stars in this game and keep it within one score like they have in three straight matchups.

The current odds for Dallas to cover at -250 are very steep but if can get either team at +1.5 or +2.5 at a decent odd during the game, I would recommend a live bet in this spot. The Stars are third in the league for first period goals on the road with 26 in 23 games and could present a great opportunity to get in on the Golden Knights if they go down early.

I expect the Golden Knights to win at home but it will be be a narrow win and it should be a low-scoring game. Vegas has seen the total go under six goals in 11 of their last 14 home games and in seven of their last ten home matchups versus Dallas.
