Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars Prediction & Picks - NHL

Prediction published on 1/23/25, 4:24 PM  by Edgar Jibran | Modified on 1/23/25 at 11:28 PM in NHL Picks

Next Friday the NHL schedule will practically take place on venues from the Western Conference, and one of the most interesting games will be played at the American Airlines Center, where Dallas Stars will clash against Vegas Golden Knights at 06:30 pm CST. In this matter, it’s worth noting that for this game, the bookmakers’ odds are putting Dallas Stars as the favorites to win.

When looking deeper at both teams’ performance, Dallas Stars have only been able to win 1 out of their last 4 games, a streak that is totally opposite to the expectations as they still are the best defensive in the Western Conference. Despite that, it must be noted that the Stars haven’t lost in the first period during their last 8 games in a row, so they are expected to keep that good level during the early game.

Meanwhile, Vegas Golden Knights will face their fifth game against a Central Division team from January 12th, being mandatory to remind that they couldn’t get positive results against weak teams like Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators. Additionally, the Golden Knights haven’t been able to win a first period since their game against San Jose Sharks last January 07th, numbers that reflect the inconsistency that hasn’t allowed them to compete with Winnipeg Jets.
