Vegas vs Dallas Prediction 30 April 2024

Dallas has managed to reduce the gap and will try to return to their home ground with the scores level. The fourth match of the Western Conference quarterfinal series will take place on April 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise. Will Vegas return to the winning path or lose a home game again?

Vegas had a disastrously poor first half in the third match. Unable to withstand the pressure from the opponent, the team made many mistakes and deservedly found themselves down 0-2 at the beginning of the second period. However, the "knights" showed character and managed to get involved in a difficult situation, quickly leveling the score. In the third 20-minute period, everything started from scratch, although the teams left it at that, not scoring a single puck. Well, the overtime did not go in favor of Bruce Cassidy's guys.

Dallas has shown that it truly specializes in away games. In the last 10 meetings on foreign ice, the "sheriffs" have secured 9 victories – an impressive indicator. Yes, in the second period, Peter DeBoer's proteges managed to quickly squander the hard-earned advantage, but they took what was theirs in the end. In overtime, they were sharper and deservedly scored the winning puck.

Probable lineups:

Vegas: Thompson – Hanifin, Pietrangelo – Marchessault, Eichel, Howden

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

The hosts will be without goalkeeper Lehner and defender Hague. In the guests' lineup, defender Hakanpää remains injured.

So far, the teams have only pleased fans of high-scoring hockey in the first game of the series, after which they never managed to score even five pucks in a game. The total of fewer than 5.5 goals has been played in 6 out of Dallas's last 7 matches. There are all indications that a high number of goals should not be expected once again.
