The Stars were red hot with their season-best nine game point streak but they’ve since started to look more human again with four losses in their six games since. These teams regularly play tight games at American Airlines Center with the Golden Knights recording wins in seven of their ten all-time trips to Dallas at with seven of the ten games being decided by one goal.
We can expect a defensive showdown between two teams that are top seven in goals against average and have totalled under six goals in six of their last seven matchups. The Stars always seem to bring their best when playing at home with nine of their last 12 home games totaling under six goals.
Dallas has allowed three or more goals in just eight of their 22 home games this season thanks to Jake Oettinger, who has a 15-6-1 record and a 2.07 goals against average.

The superstar netminder also has a 4-2-2 record and a 2.17 average in eight career starts versus Vegas. We are red hot on our moneyline picks with a 11-4 record in our last 15 picks and hope to continue the trend with the Stars.
