The Vegas Golden Knights are on the road to open the playoffs against the Dallas Stars. Vegas comes in as the second wildcard and finished the season going 6-4-0. Dallas won the Central Division and finished with the second most points in the NHL. The Stars went 8-2-0 down the stretch. Dallas has had a great season so far and will go as far in the playoffs as Jake Oettinger can carry them. He had 35 wins in 54 games and posted a 2.72 goals against average and a .905 save percentage with three shutouts. Dallas has won 10 of his last 11 starts. They won 12 of the last 14 games and 15 of the last 17 against a team from the Western Conference. Vegas has lost eight of the last 12 played on the road. Dallas has put up over three goals per game at home. The Golden Knights have lost three straight road games giving up 16 goals and scoring 8. Dallas has allowed five goals in their last three home games. Like Dallas, I am riding Oettinger in this game.

Play on Dallas. This is a 3% play.
