Stars at Golden Knights projected goalies

Jake Oettinger (3-2, .911 SV%, 2.31 GAA) vs. Logan Thompson (2-2, 2.35 GAA, .921 SV%)

The 25-year-old Oettinger got off to a rough start in the series when he allowed 4 goals on 15 shots but has settled in nicely, having surrendered just 2 goals in each of the last 4 games. Stars coach Pete Deboer credited Oettinger's ability to "go to another level at the most important time of the game" after the Game 5 victory.

Thompson's .921 save percentage is the highest amongst playoff goaltenders in the Western Conference. Despite the Game 3 loss, Knights broadcaster Dan D'Uva said that the 27-year-old "was as good as I think I've ever seen him" as he made 43 saves, the most saves by a goaltender in Vegas postseason history.

Stars at Golden Knights picks and predictions

Prediction

Stars 4, Golden Knights 3

Moneyline

BET STARS (-114).

Dallas plays a disciplined style as they sport the lowest % of giveaways in the defensive zone (27.59%) of any playoff team, plus they have had to kill off the least number of penalties (9). The Stars possess the 13-7 high danger shots advantage, so expect them to have more opportunities to score on a goaltender that may be out of rhythm after watching Game 5 from the bench.

Puck line/Against the spread

PASS.

Too much juice (-260) to back Vegas who is playing with their season on the line, do they pull Thompson really early in an effort to desperately tie it up? I would rather take a shot on the YES (+330) for Will There be Overtime? as this game should definitely stay close.

Over/Under

BET OVER 5.5 (-122).

Vegas still features RW Jonathan Marchessault, last year's Conn Smythe Trophy Winner who found the back of the net in the 1st 2 games of the series. The 33-year-old's 6-year, $30 million contract expires after this season, as does 39-year-old C Joe Pavelski's, who nearly missed a game winner in Game 5. Expect both veterans to help contribute to multiple goals for their respective teams.
