5% (13) DALLAS -140
I am Big Vegas Golden Knights fan so it pains me to bet against them but you have to bet with your head and not your heart and my head tells me Dallas is an outstanding play tonight. Let’s start with the obvious yes it’s a must win for Dallas as their season is on the line down 0-2. Game 3 at Home in a must win has me riding the Stars not because they HAVE to Win but because they CAN Win. If you watched both games so far Vegas dominated Game one but almost lost it as Dallas scored late to send it to OT before losing. In Game 2 it was Dallas who completely dominated the game but it was Vegas who scored late off of a bad TO by Dallas to tie it and send it to OT. Vegas scored early in the OT. Vegas had only 10 shots on goal entering the 3rd period. Vegas scored their 1st goal of the game on a 5 on 3 Power Play to tie the score at 1-1 then got their second goal with Under 3 mins left in game off of the turnover to tie it 2-2. Vegas is Lucky to be up 2-0 in the series. This series should be tied 1-1 or just as easily could have been 2-0 Dallas had they won game 1 in OT. Adin Hill has been amazing in goal so far in relief for Laurent Brossoit but he will be severely tested tonight in a hostile environment. Dallas Goalie Jake Oettinger is 22-2-3 after a loss including 5-1-0 this postseason. I’m going to ride him over Adin Hill in this one. We also find the following:
KEY STAT: DALLAS is 36-17 ATS after allowing 3 goals or more 2 straight games over the last 2 seasons
