We continue our Knights vs Stars betting odds preview with a look at both teams, followed by our NHL picks.

Game Six Critical For Knights

We’ve already mentioned that the Stars were only three points behind the Golden Knights in the final 2023 standings, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that getting that fourth win has become a chore for the Vegas Golden Knights. With every passing shift, the pressure on VGK to punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final becomes greater and if the Stars get a lead in game six you can bet Bruce Cassidy’s team will start to grab their sticks a little tighter.

Captain Mark Stone insists that the pressure is on both teams while speaking with an air of confidence that Vegas will indeed get its second road victory in the series. With the game-five loss, the Knights are now 11-5 in the postseason with 623 units won (ranked 2nd). The Knights also own the second most units won in the playoffs with 423, second only to the Florida Panthers (1181 units).

If the Golden Knights go on to lose this series, the Vegas faithful will talk about what could have been leading the series 3-0 while owning a 2-1 lead in the second period in both games four and five. Winning at the American Airlines Center has not been an easy task for the Knights over the years after losing five of their last seven meetings. The under is 15-5-2 in their last 22 meetings. Bruce Cassidy is 47-42 in the postseason over his career (-75 units).

First 20 Minutes Key For Dallas

Pete DeBoer’s team hasn’t had the ideal beginning to any of the four games, even though his team seems to thrive the most when dangling off the cliff of elimination. The first 20-30 minutes will tell the story of game five.

How will each team respond to game four and what kind of adjustments will be made during the first intermission? Betting is not only about which team the public thinks is better, it’s about the psychology of each team.

We try to have our money behind the club that heads into a game with a positive state of mind and it’s hard to argue that Dallas doesn’t have that advantage but a solid opening 20 minutes by the Knights can steal that advantage.

The Stars are now 10-8 in the playoffs (-61 units) but have produced a small profit at home with their 6-3 record (+63 units). Pete DeBoer owns a 78-63 (+467 units) playoff career record. His units won are ranked 13th since 2011-12. We conclude our Knights vs Stars betting odds preview with our official selection.

Forced to Take Stars

In our series preview, we predicted that the Golden Knights would win in seven games, which means, we’ve somewhat forced the bet on the Dallas Stars tonight, We’re going to take it a step further, let’s take Dallas on the puck line because we can’t ignore the +195.

Dallas seems to be in a groove with 19 wins in their last 26 games coming off one day’s rest while winning four of their last five home games. Don’t sleep on the under which has cashed eight straight games when these two hook up in Dallas, but our official selection is Dallas -1.5 (+195). We wish you the best tonight and the rest of the NHL playoffs.
