Vegas vs Dallas Prediction 4 May 2024
Match Preview
Vegas is returning to its home ground, the "T-Mobile Arena" in Paradise, with one single goal – to avoid relegation. At the moment, the current holder of the Stanley Cup is on the verge of relegation, trailing Dallas with a score of 2-3. Will the "knights" restore parity, or will the series end here?
Vegas confidently led the series after away games, but then lost three meetings in a row and is now one step away from failure. The team went through an incredibly tough regular season not to get knocked out in the very first round. We can state that Bruce Cassidy's boys look no worse than their opponent, but their execution does not allow them to achieve the necessary result.
Dallas, on the other hand, managed to turn the series upside down with sheer determination and found themselves in a dominating position. Who could have expected such a turn after a couple of defeats at the start? In the previous match, the fate of the winner was decided by power play execution. Peter DeBoer's proteges scored two goals with a numerical advantage. And the first goal, which allowed them to equalize the score, was again scored by Dadonov.
Probable lineups:
Vegas: Thompson – Hanifin, Pietrangelo – Marchessault, Eichel, Howden
Dallas: Oettinger – Harley, Heiskanen – Johnston, Hintz, Robertson
The hosts have no losses. The guests will be without defenseman Hakanpää, whom they have learned to do without.
The match is crucial, so we expect that the teams will play more cautiously than usual. The total under 6.5 goals has been played in 6 out of the last 7 matches of Vegas and in 8 out of the last 9 games of Dallas. We see no reason why this mark will be exceeded in the upcoming meeting.
