The Vegas Golden Knights have just 3 losses in this postseason to the Dallas Stars’ 5. It just feels like Vegas is doing everything right, while Dallas has been more volatile than the regular-season version of itself and will be anxious to change that. The Stars, like the Golden Knights, have been playoff mainstays including a Stanley Cup Finals appearance in the last 5 years. This series between deep, experienced teams has all the makings of a full 2-week long, 7-game slog starting on Friday.

Both teams under 3.5 goals (+140)
Vegas just held the best player on the planet and also the hottest player on the planet quiet for 4 consecutive games to win the series. Whatever they figured out to smother Connor McDavid and a high-flying Oilers offense, they will bring into this series against the Stars. Dallas has not shut the door in the playoffs the way it did during the regular season. Regardless, the Kraken scored the 4th-most goals in the NHL during the regular season and the most 5-on-5. Dallas held them to 2 or fewer goals in 3 games including Game 7.
These 2 teams have flexed strong goal prevention, which would reinforce their head-to-head trends this season. In 3 matchups this season, there was a total of 12 goals scored for an average game total of 4.0 goals. Especially in Game 1 when teams will be feeling each other out a little bit, those trends have a good chance to hold true. These +140 odds for the teams to do what they have done head-to-head this season is good value.

Jack Eichel Over 0.5 goals (+140)
Jack Eichel certainly seems to be enjoying his first career trip to the Stanley Cup playoffs. He leads Vegas in goals with 6, in assists with 8, and in points with 14. His 14 points in 11 games have been somewhat backloaded as he has really hit his stride recently. Eichel tallied 4 important points in Games 5 and 6 against Edmonton as part of a 7 points in 4 games run as things continued to get more and more important.
Eichel is slated as the team’s top center between Stanley Cup champion Ivan Barbashev and 28-goal scorer Jonathan Marchessault. He is also on the top power play with Marchessault, Mark Stone, Chandler Stephenson and Shea Theodore. Eichel can create offense where there isn’t any on his own. But the teammates with whom he is consistently on the ice help increase any existing chances of offensive production.
