Stephen Nover's NHL Game of the Month
(NHL) Dallas vs. Las Vegas,
Money Line: -111.00 Las Vegas (Home)
Result: Loss
It's time to take the Golden Knights serious especially when they are home. Las Vegas leads the Pacific Division with a 15-6-1 record. A key is a 9-1 home mark.

The Golden Knights have won their last eight games at T-Mobile Arena. They won five of those eight games by multiple goals.

Dallas happens to be a terrible road team. The Stars are 9-2 at home, but 3-8-1 on the road. Dallas has dropped its last four away contests.

Part of the reason why the Stars struggle on the road is poor goalie play from Ben Bishop. He's been much better at home. The Stars have given up 19 goals in Bishop's last four road starts.

Las Vegas goalie Malcolm Subban, by contrast, is 4-0 this season with a 1.87 GAA and .935 save percentage.

The teams met in the first game of the season. That was in Dallas and Las Vegas won, 2-1. Now the Golden Knights get the Stars in Las Vegas where they have won 90 percent of the time.
