Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights expert picks
Stars vs Golden Knights money line pick: Stars ML (+105)
This series should end up being an instant classic with these two teams. The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Oilers in 6 games and now welcome the Dallas Stars to town with a chance to make it back to the Stanley Cup Finals. Vegas proved in the Oilers series that they have the depth to make it to the finals. Jack Eichel has been a beast so far in his first go around in the playoffs with 6 goals and 8 assists for 14 points. The Golden Knights will have their hands full with this Stars team as they are a lot more built defensively than the Oilers.
The Stars make it to the Western Conference Finals after an intense 7 game series with the Seattle Kraken. The Stars made it here with their 200-foot gameplay that has been the key to their success all season. As well as they netminder in Jake Oettinger who is 8-5 and has a GAA of 2.75 in these playoffs. Rope Hintz has been leading this team throughout the playoffs with 9 goals and 10 assists for 19 points. Look for this Stars team to put up a good fight in Vegas tonight as well as sneak out the victory as they have the momentum coming from that game 7 win. Take the Stars ML at +105 as the road teams have been on fire these playoffs.

Stars vs Golden Knights over/under total goals pick: Under 5.5 (-115)
Both goaltenders have played extremely well to get their respective clubs to this point. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger is 8-5 with a .903 GAA while Vegas goaltender Adin Hill is 3-1 with a .934 GAA since taking over for Laurent Brossoit. During the regular season, both teams ranked top 10 in goals against per games played. Dallas was 6th with 3.08 goals against while Vegas was 5th with 3.00 goals against. With this being the first game of the series, I expect a feeling-out process between both teams with a lot on the line. Take the under 5.5 goals at -114 as both goaltenders want to make a statement in game 1.
