The Vegas Golden Knights hold a 2-0 series lead over the Dallas Stars as this series shifts to Texas, but after two overtime defeats the Stars will know they’re unfortunate to be in this position but could be set to bounce back in front of their home crowd. Both teams have looked evenly matched so far and that should make for another thrilling game for tonight’s matchup, which starts at 8:00 pm ET on ESPN. Let’s get into our picks, predictions, best bets and odds for Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars expert picks
Golden Knights vs Stars money line pick: Stars ML (-140)
The Golden Knights were able to take a 2-0 series lead on Sunday afternoon by defeating the Dallas Stars 3-2 in overtime. They are now only 2 wins away from reaching the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2018. The Knights’ top players are the main reason why they have that lead. Jack Eichel had an assist in the last game, while Chandler Stephenson and Jonathan Marchessault each had a goal and an assist. With the series shifting to Dallas, don’t expect anything to come easy for the Golden Knights as the Stars have been a top home team in the playoffs.
The Stars have to be feeling a number of emotions as they were only a couple of shots away from this being a 1-1 series or 2-0 in their favor. The Stars must regroup quickly, though, as the series shifts to Dallas tonight. They played almost a perfect road game in Game 2, but a couple of sloppy mistakes let the Golden Knights back into the contest. The Stars will need their top forwards, Roope Hintz and Jason Robertson, to step up this time. I see the Stars getting back into the series tonight if they can come out flying in front of their home crowd.

Golden Knights vs Stars over/under total goals pick: Under 5.5 (-110)
Both goaltenders have been strong for their clubs in this series. Stars netminder Jake Oettinger stopped 21 of 24 shots for a .875 save percentage in Game 3 while the Golden Knights’ Adin Hill denied 26 of 28 shots for a .929 save percentage. With the series shifting to Dallas, I expect the Stars to utilize the last change and match up lines with the Golden Knights in order to slow down their speed.
If the Stars are able to match the lines correctly, the Stars should slow down the pace of the game in their favor. With that being said, I would take under 5.5 goals.
