These two Western Conference Rivals met just three times during the regular season with Vegas winning two of the three. Dallas began the NHL restart very slow losing three of its first five, but has won eight of the last 11 and is coming off a hard fought seven-game series victory over Colorado Avalanche. Vegas lost two straight before defeating Vancouver to move on to the finals but will find it hard to break down the Dallas defense. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Stars win 4-2
