Golden Knights vs Stars Pick & Prediction
While Dallas is enjoying recent success against Vegas, home-ice success is another matter. All-time the Golden Knights are 4-2 SU in six games at Dallas.
The Golden Knights have been holding the hot hand of late. They’ve gone 7-1-2 through their past 10 games and are averaging 3.9 goals per game.
Based on the close-call history between these two teams, stay away from a puck line play. But take underdog Vegas to keep rolling in the moneyline.
Pick: Vegas Golden Knights ML (+115).
