Vegas vs Dallas Prediction 28 April 2024

Vegas heads to home ice in high spirits. The team took two away wins from Dallas and will try to finish the series at the "T-Mobile Arena" in Paradise. However, the Western Conference winner is clearly not going to give up, so nothing is decided in this pairing yet.

In the first meeting, Vegas was significantly outshot by the opponent, but in the second, they were even better in this regard. This time, the power play of Bruce Cassidy's guys didn't work, but they still found a way to score three goals. However, the last one was sent into an empty net by Jack Eichel.

After a brilliantly conducted regular season, Dallas is failing in the playoffs, becoming the only team to lose both home games. So far, Peter DeBoer's charges lack creativity in their attacks. After two equal periods in the second game, they were behind in the score, but in the third, they virtually created nothing at the opponent's goal.

Projected lineups:

Vegas: Hill – Martinez, Pietrangelo – Marchessault, Eichel, Howden

Dallas: Oettinger – Harley, Heiskanen – Pavelski, Hintz, Robertson

The hosts have no injuries. The guests will be missing defenseman Hakanpaa as usual.

If we take a global look at the two past meetings, Dallas was not worse than the opponent. Vegas does not have a gameplay advantage, which means the guests have a chance to rectify the situation. Yes, the "knights" are a tough opponent for them, but we believe that the "sheriffs" have what it takes not to lose in the third match, at least in regulation time.
