Vegas vs. Dallas. NHL Match Prediction and Bets

Current form

Vegas completed a three-game home series, which it began with a victory over a rival of its level, Winnipeg. The team showed excellent play in attack, and also confidently held off the opponent pressure, which allowed it to win in regulation time (4:3). It seemed that the Golden Knights would leave no chance for Utah, but everything went wrong. Despite a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone, the Knights were unable to score a single puck, suffering a "dry rout" (0:6), which was a big surprise for many hockey fans. Goalie Samsonov showed his worst side, reflecting only 78% of the shots. Still, the home walls helped the team rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, snatching a victory from Edmonton (1:0). This time, Hill was in goal, and he played much better than his teammate.

Then Cassidy charges went to visit the obvious underdog, Anaheim, and this time they showed their full potential, defeating their opponent with a score of 4:1. Defenseman Theodore showed a great game, scoring twice. Goalkeeper Samsonov also regained confidence in himself, reflecting almost all the shots this time. Indeed, Vegas has been in excellent shape for a long time and rarely loses points, thanks to which it is in third place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the leader is only one point.

Current form

Dallas had another very successful home series of two games, winning both of them. In the first match, the team fought Colorado and, thanks to their excellent attacking performance, won with a score of 5:3. The most productive was forward Marshment, who scored twice and also scored a goal. The "stars" were able to consolidate their success in a match with another very powerful opponent, Winnipeg, taking advantage of their not-so-best form and beating them by two goals (3:1). This time, goalie Oettinger deserves praise, reflecting 96% of the shots, which did not allow the Jets to cling to points.

After a successful performance at home, the Stars went on the road, where they won another victory over Utah (2:1). This time, DeSmith was in goal, and he played even better than his teammate, stopping 36 of 37 shots. It was thanks to this that they managed to avoid additional problems. It seemed that DeBoer charges would continue to beat all competitors on their way, but on the road against Los Angeles, they had difficulties converting moments in attack, which is why they had to interrupt their winning streak and suffer a defeat with a difference of only one goal (2:3). The lost points dropped Dallas to fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
