Dallas Stars

Dallas is one of the most consistent teams in the league at the end of the regular season. The Texans started to pick up points early in the season and added to their tally before the playoffs when they won 12 games in 14 meetings, losing only to Chicago and Winnipeg, 3:2 and 3:0. It was a run of form that put them top of the Western Conference standings and earned them the top seed for the Cup. Not only that, but they came up against the reigning Stanley Cup champions in the first round. The opening game of the series showed the Stars that the playoffs are not the regular season, as they dominated the match but lost 4:3 to Vegas.

Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas is the reigning Stanley Cup champion. The Knights began the regular season like champions, opening with a long winning streak and then continuing to pile up points. But then, overnight, everything seemed to fall apart for them as they suffered defeats. For a long time, Vegas was teetering on the edge of the Cup Final Eight, but then they went on a run of form to secure eighth place in the Western Conference. Bruce Cassidy's wards began their title defense with a series against Dallas, whom they had beaten in six games the year before. Here and now, the first game remained for the champions - 4:3.

Expert Betting Tips

Vegas is a very uncomfortable opponent for Dallas. The Knights defeated the Stars 4:2 in six games in the last Stanley Cup, and Bruce Cassidy's men have now won five straight meetings. Nevertheless, Peter DeBoer's men will not give up on the reigning champions without a fight. The Texans proved during the regular season that they can play hockey and play it well, as evidenced by their top spot in the Western Conference. 

The confrontation between Dallas and Vegas has not been a high-scoring affair in recent years. In the 14 previous meetings, the opponents have combined for just 64 pucks (an average of 4.57 per game) - a very modest figure for such a long distance. In addition, the Texans tend to play a pragmatic and defensive match at home and have managed just 26 shots on goal (4.33 per game) in the six previous meetings at the American Airlines Center.
