To remain in first place in the Western Conference standings at the end of the regular season, Vegas needs only three points in their two remaining games, both of which will be against Seattle. It's a manageable goal, which would put the Golden Knights in the first round of the playoffs on the team that would clinch the second wild-card spot - Winnipeg or Calgary. Both of those opponents are tough for Vegas tonight.
Last time the Knights had an unsuccessful trip to Dallas, losing to their former coach Peter DeBoer in a shootout game 1:2. However, Vegas scored points anyway and hasn't lost in regulation time in six straight games. At the same time, the Golden Knights met during this period with strong Minnesota and Los Angeles.
Seattle Kraken
The Kraken approach the matchup against Vegas with a streak of five straight wins in regulation time. All of them were wins over season underdogs Arizona (three), Vancouver, and Chicago, but somehow or other, they allowed Dave Hextall's team to reach the playoffs. Seattle enters the Stanley Cup race in seventh place in the Western Conference and will almost certainly face reigning champion Colorado in the first round. It's unlikely that Kraken will get past such a powerful opponent, but making the playoffs is already a big success for Seattle, mainly because the team finished last season as one of the major underdogs in the league.
Expert Betting Tips
Seattle made a decisive breakthrough by winning five games in a row and booked their way into the Stanley Cup 2022/23. Dave Hextall's team likely won't have enough excitement for their upcoming game against Vegas. Moreover, the Golden Knights can still lose the top spot in the conference, which means they'll fight for a win. Vegas is likely to win. We bet on Bruce Cassidy's team, as well as a productive matchup.
