The Dallas Stars needed an overtime winner from Joe Pavelski and a heroic performance from Jason Robertson to avoid the sweep on Thursday night. Vegas is 6-2 at home in the playoffs this year and historically, they are 26-14-0. Home ice advantage has not mattered as much this spring, but it has been quite kind to Vegas.
Dallas has struggled in the playoffs, narrowly getting past Seattle in the second round. Vegas seems to have hit their stride at the right time and getting contributions up and down the lineup. Stone and Eichel have led the way up front and Adin Hill has provided stellar goaltending. In one of the best playoff atmospheres in the NHL, take Vegas on the money line to close it out tonight.
Dallas shouldn't go without a fight. Rope Hintz has been the Stars best player throughout the playoffs. Vegas gives up its fair share of shots to opposing centres and Hintz has gone over his line in 5 of his last 6 games. With the season on the line, take Hintz to go over his line of 2.5 shots.
