Vegas vs. Dallas: NHL Match Prediction
On December 7, Vegas will try to continue its winning streak, playing at home. This time, the team will face a very serious opponent in the form of Dallas, which is also in optimal shape. Our experts have prepared a forecast in which they will tell you about the latest matches of the clubs, and will also help you choose the best bets
Command Analysis
Vegas Golden Knights
USACurrent form
Vegas completed a three-game home series, which it began with a victory over a rival of its level, Winnipeg. The team showed excellent play in attack, and also confidently held off the opponent pressure, which allowed it to win in regulation time (4:3). It seemed that the Golden Knights would leave no chance for Utah, but everything went wrong. Despite a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone, the Knights were unable to score a single puck, suffering a "dry rout" (0:6), which was a big surprise for many hockey fans. Goalie Samsonov showed his worst side, reflecting only 78% of the shots. Still, the home walls helped the team rehabilitate itself in front of the fans, snatching a victory from Edmonton (1:0). This time, Hill was in goal, and he played much better than his teammate.
Then Cassidy charges went to visit the obvious underdog, Anaheim, and this time they showed their full potential, defeating their opponent with a score of 4:1. Defenseman Theodore showed a great game, scoring twice. Goalkeeper Samsonov also regained confidence in himself, reflecting almost all the shots this time. Indeed, Vegas has been in excellent shape for a long time and rarely loses points, thanks to which it is in third place in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the leader is only one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vegas' infirmary remains unchanged, with the team still playing without Lehner, Hutton, Stone and Whitecloud.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vegas averages 3.6 goals per game
Vegas continues to be one of the most productive clubs in the league.
- The Golden Knights are averaging 5.6 penalty minutes per game.
It is also worth noting that the team plays very carefully and rarely breaks the rules.
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas had another very successful home series of two games, winning both of them. In the first match, the team fought Colorado and, thanks to their excellent attacking performance, won with a score of 5:3. The most productive was forward Marshment, who scored twice and also scored a goal. The "stars" were able to consolidate their success in a match with another very powerful opponent, Winnipeg, taking advantage of their not-so-best form and beating them by two goals (3:1). This time, goalie Oettinger deserves praise, reflecting 96% of the shots, which did not allow the Jets to cling to points.
After a successful performance at home, the Stars went on the road, where they won another victory over Utah (2:1). This time, DeSmith was in goal, and he played even better than his teammate, stopping 36 of 37 shots. It was thanks to this that they managed to avoid additional problems. It seemed that DeBoer charges would continue to beat all competitors on their way, but on the road against Los Angeles, they had difficulties converting moments in attack, which is why they had to interrupt their winning streak and suffer a defeat with a difference of only one goal (2:3). The lost points dropped Dallas to fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas has virtually no problems with its roster. Only forward Seguin is in the infirmary.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Dallas allows 2.56 goals per game.
The Stars can boast of a very reliable defensive game this season.
- The Stars converted just 18% of their power play attempts.
Despite a very active and productive attack, Dallas continues to have problems realizing their numerical superiority.

2.46Tip and bets
It is quite difficult to determine the winner of the upcoming match, which is also agreed upon by bookmakers, who give approximately equal odds for the teams' success. Indeed, both clubs are currently in optimal shape and are worthy of each other. However, it is worth considering that Vegas will play at home, where by definition it has a better chance of success. It is also worth noting that Dallas has not been playing well on the road lately, as evidenced by the difficult victory over Utah and the defeat by Los Angeles. It is for this reason that we suggest betting in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is Vegas to win with a handicap of (0) at 1.98
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, one should not expect a large number of goals scored, despite the very powerful attacking potential of the teams. One should not forget that the teams are also distinguished by a reliable game in defense, which they will try to demonstrate, as they usually do in face-to-face meetings.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.74
Bet on the outcome of the first period
In the first period, Vegas, due to the home advantage, may well meet Dallas harshly, for which the Stars will not be ready. It is due to this that the Golden Knights can earn an advantage already at the end of the opening period.
Prediction - Vegas win in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.87
