Dallas Stars

Vegas Golden Knights

Match Preview

Vegas started the series with two away wins, but then Dallas paid back in kind. With the score tied at 2-2, the teams return to the “American Airlines Center,” where they will play the fifth match on May 2nd. Should we expect another victory for the visitors, or will the home ice advantage finally play its role this time?

Dallas was determined to even the score in the series before returning home, and they played accordingly in the fourth match. Peter DeBoer's proteges were active in the opening segments of the first and second periods, but this did not lead to goals. On the contrary, it was the opponent who stood out, but the “sheriffs” found a way to respond both times. They only took the lead towards the end of the second 20-minute period, and with a minute and a half left in the game, they sealed it with an empty-net goal.

Vegas took the first two meetings from the Western Conference winner, but it seems they believed in their success too early and managed to lose both home games. Now, the task of defending the championship title has become much more difficult. Despite successes in the first away playoff games, Bruce Cassidy's boys are not convincing on foreign ice. They are only ninth in the West by this metric.

Probable lineups:

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

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

The hosts will be without defenseman Hakanpää. The guests will also be unable to count on defenseman Hague. Both would have been able to strengthen their teams.

The opponents do not indulge the audience with abnormally high scoring. In the first match of the series, seven goals were scored, but afterwards, the teams never surpassed this mark again. The total of less than 6.5 goals has been true in 7 out of the last 8 matches of Dallas. Considering the importance of the upcoming game, expecting more than six goals again does not seem reasonable.
