It is situation critical for the Golden Knights and the Stars on Tuesday. The Golden Knights have been ill-fated this season and have now lost Lehner for the duration. That leaves Logan Thompson in the breach, and he has struggled in his last starts. Oettinger has been good all season and strong in his last games, so advantage goes to the Stars in the net.

The Stars are back at home, and are statistically much better in Dallas. They lost three straight on the road before their home win on Sunday. Neither team has made much of a run for the wild card spot, but I am less impressed with the Knights. They are also 1-3, including a pair of losses to lesser teams. The Stars have held the line on defense all season, and at this point in the season it is goal-tending and defense that wins games. Dallas has the edge in both categories. Take the Stars to win.
