This game is going to be a defensive battle as the series shifts to Vegas where the Golden Knights play a more defensive game when at home. They will be in a position to lockdown on the Stars and grab a stranglehold on the series. Dallas seems to be a good team during the regular season and ends up having mixed results in the playoffs. The Stars are in desperation mode as they face getting swept. They have lost 2 in a row and it’s hard to get motivated on the road when the team blew their best chances at home to be up in the series. Vegas is tough on defense and kills off almost 80% of their penalties. Their goaltending is better and they have the experience as a cup winner. They have been in the spot and they know what to do in this game. They will stifle the Stars and force them to turnover the puck in the neutral zone, while they keep them out of the blue and red zones, limiting quality shots on goal. Dallas just has no answer for Vegas as they have been dominated by this team for several seasons. Dallas is 11-24 in the 3rd game of a playoff series. Dallas is 6-13 straight up revenging a same season loss vs opponent this season. Vegas is 3-1 straight up in the 3rd game of a playoff series.

Best bet: take Vegas on the moneyline (ML).
