My Prediction
Vegas Golden Knights by 2Alright, so this will be quite an interesting matchup! The Dallas Stars on one end standing proud with their goalkeepers, Jake Oettinger and Casey DeSmith who have shown impressive saves this season. Oettinger has 833 saves this season and DeSmith with a whopping 97.8% save percentage. Looking at Vegas Golden Knights' corner, Adin Hill and Ilya Samsonov are not too shabby either, particularly Hill with his 94.0% season save percentage.
Moving to the offensive line, the Stars have some bright spots, notably Jason Robertson with his productive month of 10 goals and 12 assists, Wyatt Johnston with an impressive 14 assists, and Matt Duchene who had a decent 5 goals and 12 assists last month. Golden Knights' power players include Jack Eichel and Shea Theodore who have made significant contributions to their team last month, and Pavel Dorofeyev who had a great striking streak with a total of 9 goals for the month.
The Stars and Golden Knights look like pretty evenly-matched opponents considering their regular season records, both standing at 31 wins. However, their previous face-offs do give us some intriguing data, as they went back and forth with victories but it is impossible to ignore that the Stars do seem to have a tiny edge over the Knights.
Taking all of these aspects into account, along with their recent performances, shows a story of two teams that are really striving for every point. The Knights and the Stars both have their strengths and weaknesses but ultimately, jackpot may be with Knights on this one.
