Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/29/26

The Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights are set to meet for the first time this season on Thursday night in Vegas. The Stars enter this contest with wins in 3 of their last 4 games, while the Golden Knights have dropped 4 of their last 5. The Stars are among the most well-rounded teams in the NHL, as they possess a deep forward group and a solid group of defensemen. Dallas ranks 5th in the NHL in goals per game allowed (2.72), and Jake Oettinger has allowed 2 goals or fewer in 4 of his last 6 outings. The Dallas power play remains extremely lethal, ranking 2nd in the league operating at a 29.9% clip.

Dallas’ well-rounded forward group and sensational power play could be in line for a solid night when going up against Vegas goaltender Adin Hill. Hill has appeared in 4 games since returning from IR on January 15, and it appears he’s still trying to settle back in. The 29-year-old netminder has allowed 17 goals in those 4 games, which equates to a 4.26 goals-against average to go along with a save percentage of .825. That’s not the kind of funk you want to find yourself in when preparing to face Mikko Rantanen, Jason Robertson, Wyatt Johnston, and Miro Heiskanen. The Stars should be able to capitalize on their scoring chances, which gives them a great chance at finding the win column in this matchup.
