On the face of it, the math is really rather simple. The first team to win 16 games in the NHL playoffs is the one that will hoist the Stanley Cup. The reality, though, is that getting to those 16 wins is an absolute grind that seldom comes without some ups and downs. This is particularly true for the teams that don’t have home ice advantage from start to finish, as landing on that magical 16th win means going on the road and getting some big victories. That is what the Vegas Golden Knights will be looking to do now, as they head to Dallas with a 2-0 series lead in the Western Conference Final. If you look at how the games have gone here, this does not feel like a series that will be over quickly. We are jumping ahead to Thursday night for Game 4 in this series, so let’s take a closer look at the NHL betting analysis.

When: Thursday, May 25 at 8 PM EST
Where: American Airlines Center, Dallas
TV: ESPN
Why bet on the Vegas Golden Knights
The Golden Knights came into the playoffs with the #1 seed in the West after amassing 111 points in the regular season. They looked every part the top seed in the opening round, taking out the Winnipeg Jets in 5 games after losing Game 1 in that series. Their second round series against the Edmonton Oilers was certainly tougher, but the Golden Knight wore down their divisional foe and took that series in 6. In both series, Vegas lost one of their home outings in the opening 2 games, so heading out to Dallas with a 2-0 lead would seem to bode well for them. This is especially true when you consider that they lost twice at home to Dallas in the regular season, with their lone win versus the Stars coming on the road. If they can nab one win over the next 2 games, they will have a serious stranglehold on the series.

Why bet on the Dallas Stars
Given how things have gone for the Dallas Stars this postseason, there will be no one pressing the panic button just yet. Dallas found themselves in a 1-2 hole in the opening round series against the Minnesota Wild, eventually winning that one in 6 games. It was much the same story against the Seattle Kraken in Round 2, where they once again went into a 1-2 hole before climbing out and taking the series in 7 games. Th fact of the matter is that they could just be heading home up by 2 games, with both outings in Vegas going to OT. I would be stunned if the rest of this series, however long it lasts, doesn’t follow a similar pattern, as both teams seem evenly matched. If the Stars can win Game 3, this game is going to probably be the most critical in the series to this point.

Expert Pick and Series Prediction
Things have been tight in this series, with both games decided by a single goal, so I would play whoever is listed at +1 ½ here. I would also be looking at the UNDER, as I think we get another tight, defensive battle. Vegas Golden Knights 2 Dallas Stars 3
