The Vegas Golden Knights have lost 10 of their last 13 games and certainly an inconsistent offense has played a key role. The Vegas Golden Knights, in those 10 defeats, have averaged scoring only 1.9 goals per game.

The Dallas Stars have allowed 3 or less goals in 10 of their last 12 road games. That is the good news but the bad news for the Dallas Stars is they struggle to consistently score goals. Prior to the 4-3 win at Chicago, the Dallas Stars had average just 1.7 goals per game in their 11 prior goad games. The O/U went 0-9-2 in those 11 games.
The Dallas Stars are also banged up entering this game and the Vegas Golden Knights are very hungry for a win which should mean plenty of solid defensive play in this match-up that has key playoff race implications.
