This is an 8* on VEGAS

Those pesky Stars keep getting it done as they now lead the Western Conference Finals 2-1. After they and Vegas exchanged shutouts in the first two games, Game 3 went to overtime with Dallas winning 3-2. That made us happy as we had the Stars +1.5. So we didn’t even need to sweat out OT! But we can’t sugarcoat the fact that the Golden Knights outshot them 40-23. Outshooting the opposition is something Vegas has consistently done in the postseason. They are averaging 36.3 shots/game of their own while only allowing 24.6 per game. Those kinds of numbers virtually guarantee you’ll be successful on a consistent basis. The Knights have not lost more than two straight here in the bubble. The only other time they lost back to back games was the last series vs. Vancouver and they responded with a 3-0 shutout. The Golden Knights, who are 11-2 L13 after scoring 2 goals or less, are a strong play for us here. Play on VEGAS
