The Dallas Stars looked dead to rights after losing Game 3. Jamie Benn lost his composure and was lucky only receiving a two-game suspension. However, going down 0-3 did something for Dallas. The Stars started playing Dallas hockey.
The Golden Knights stopped scoring as often. Jake Oettinger started playing better in goal and Adin Hill looked just the slightest bit human in Game 5. Is there a chance that this series has completely turned?
Vegas began this series as -135 favorites to make their second Stanley Cup Final in six seasons. That number dipped from -2400 to -335. Dallas are the underdogs at +260. Read on for Stars vs Golden Knights analysis.

Dallas Stars Betting Analysis
The Dallas Stars righted themselves in Games 4 and 5 much like they did against Minnesota and Seattle by the looks of the scoreboard. However, this time the Stars showed an ability to slow down Vegas to a goal-scoring halt while mounting an offense of their own. Dallas and its speed plus depth are quite a combination when it gets going.

Jake Oettinger is an excellent goaltender for Dallas and is now making the saves he needs to. The question becomes what does Peter DeBoer do about Ryan Suter and Jamie Benn? The Stars played unquestionably better on Thursday and Saturday night. Could Benn see fourth-line minutes with Suter seeing seventh-defenseman-like ice time? That is possible. It will be intriguing to see what Dallas does.
Dallas has scored seven goals in the past two games and can easily get 3-4 past Adin Hill with regularity. That is the Stars’ belief. With depth like Ty Dellandrea scoring twice in Game 5, it is hard to doubt the Stars here.
Vegas Golden Knights Betting Analysis
Vegas is showing signs of hemorrhaging like the Miami Heat. The Golden Knights scored early in Games 4 and 5 but mounted little offense afterward. That resulted in an overtime Game 4 loss and a Game 5 where Dallas looked like the more dominant team in Vegas. Depth scoring vanished and the top line still features no goals from Jack Eichel.
Vegas continues to get great goaltending from Adin Hill but some of the mistakes Hill makes rose to the surface too. The third goal Hill allowed was poor positioning. He should have been more aggressive and that did turn Game 5.
Adin Hill's two best, highlight-reel saves tonight came on the doorstep against Roope Hintz and Joel Kiviranta. One might say it was a tough night to Finnish for the Stars.

The Golden Knights were outplayed by a Dallas team who played a more Vegas style. Hill now knows he has to play as aggressively as his counterpart, Jake Oettinger. Take one moment slightly off and pay the price!
Vegas knows that Dallas is now in this series. Winning that fourth and final game means getting back to playing balanced hockey.

Vegas is facing a different, more dynamic Dallas team than they did in Games 1-3. It is funny that Dallas has won eight of the nine games from Games 4-7. Dallas seems to take time to get going in the series.
Golden Knights vs Stars Pick & Prediction
Bettors display a slight bit of faith in Vegas. The betting percentage is 53% on Vegas (52% money on Vegas) but expect a moneyline shift to Dallas. Our model has this Stars vs Golden Knights game going the way of Dallas, 3.41-3.17.
The Stars, much like the Celtics, are green with pride. Honestly, this one feels like it will at least go back to Vegas for Game 7. Even with Jamie Benn, Dallas has figured out Vegas. It might be worth playing things safe just in case. Our picks are a cut-and-paste from Game 5.
Picks: Vegas Under 2.5 Goals (+102), Dallas Moneyline (-130)
