(65) Vegas Golden Knights at (66) Dallas Stars
(4%) DALLAS. The Stars have a score to settle. Not only did the Knights sweep them in regular season series but they also knocked them out of the Western Conference Finals in last year's playoffs, embarrassing them 6-0 in the last game of that series. This year, the h2h meetings notwithstanding, Dallas has been the better team. The Knights have been excellent at home but they've struggled on the road. The Stars have been very strong, regardless of venue. I expect them to be at their very best and for them to grab Game 1 of the series. Reduce to 3% if higher than -135.
