The Golden Knights scored early behind the duo of Jonathan Marchessault and Jack Eichel. Jamie Benn took an ill-advised five-minute major that changed the game and likely the series. Vegas went on to win 4-0 to take a commanding 3-0 series lead.
Vegas began this series as -135 favorites to make their second Stanley Cup Final in six seasons. That number is now -2400. Dallas are the underdogs at +1200. Read on for Stars vs Golden Knights analysis.

Dallas Stars Betting Analysis
The Dallas Stars came unglued in Game 3 much like they did in Game 3 against Minnesota and Seattle by the looks of the scoreboard. However, this time was different. Dallas gave up an early goal, then took the major, and Jake Oettinger allowed two more goals before getting pulled.

Jake Oettinger is an excellent goaltender for Dallas, but something clearly is off. The team had 34 shots on goal in Game 3 and could not solve Adin Hill. It does seem a bit of a role reversal from three seasons ago. Vegas ran into the hot goaltender and now it is Dallas’ turn.
Dallas has to start seeing some pucks go in the net otherwise this series is over on Thursday night. It is cold. Although, the reality is staring them in the face.
Vegas Golden Knights Betting Analysis
Vegas keeps rolling along. The Golden Knights scored four more goals on Tuesday night despite only 16 shots. After the opening 20 minutes, the Golden Knights managed six shots on net the rest of the way. Ivan Barbashev led with a goal and two assists and Nicolas Roy chipped in two more points. Even the bottom six contributed another goal too.
Vegas continues to get great goaltending from Adin Hill. He stopped all 34 shots in Game 3. Some keep thinking the regression is coming and yet all Hill keeps doing is proving his doubters wrong. Maybe, Sean Burke had an effect on him but Hill is on some roll.

The Golden Knights were smarter in Game 3 while converting their opportunities. One could say Vegas played a clinic of a road game. Every time Dallas seemed to gain momentum, the door was shut by the team defense or Hill himself.
Vegas knows that Dallas will come back with their best effort yet on Thursday night. Winning that fourth and final game is truly the hardest.

Vegas is facing a different, more dynamic Dallas team than they did during the regular season. The same can be said with Dallas. Vegas had 11 of the 16 high-danger scoring chances at even strength on Friday.
Stars vs Golden Knights Pick & Prediction
Bettors display a tiny amount of faith that Dallas avoids the sweep. The betting percentage is 52% on Dallas but the money percentage sets the moneyline at 70% for Vegas. Our model has this Stars vs Golden Knights game going the way of Dallas, 3.41-3.17.
With the Stars all but down and out, do they channel the Boston Celtics from Tuesday night? Hey, it’s not easy being green. However, this one feels like it will at least go back to Vegas for Game 5. Even without Jamie Benn, Dallas figures to show some pride on Thursday night. It might be worth taking a couple of unusual risks.
Picks: Dallas Stars Win In 60 (+121), Dallas Puckline (+205)
