Simulating Vegas vs. Dallas Game 7 in NHL 24. Can Dallas get revenge for last year's Western Conference Final? Or is it the start of another cup run for Vegas?
We have another Game 7 in store tonight in the NHL Playoffs. The reigning Stanley Cup Champions will look to avoid getting bounced in the first round by the team they knocked out in the Western Conference Finals last season.
On May 29, 2023, at the American Airlines Center, Vegas defeated the Stars by a score of 6-0 to send them to the Stanley Cup Final and Dallas to the golf course. Can the Stars get their revenge?

NHL 24 has guessed the correct score in this series twice in Games 3 and 6 (although Game 6 wasn't the correct winner) but has only predicted the correct winner in two games.
Well just like it was last night between Toronto vs. Boston in their Game 7, EA is predicting another low-scoring game and a defensive clinic.
The game was goal-less through two periods before Matt Duchene broke the stalemate with a breakaway goal that ended up being the only goal scored in this contest.
Dallas outshot Vegas 27-23 and both teams combined for 0/6 on the powerplay.
Dallas Head Coach Pete DeBoer announced earlier today that Radek Faksa will be in for Ty Dellandrea. Below are the lines we used for our simulation.
