Vegas Golden Knights at Dallas Stars Game 2 Pick For 4/24/2024

Jay Sanin on April 24th, 2024

The Vegas Golden Knights will face off against the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of their Western Conference first round playoff series on April 24, 2024, at 9:30 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Golden Knights as +145 underdogs and the Stars as -175 favorites. Currently, 15% of moneyline bets are on the Golden Knights, while 85% are on the Stars. The opening total of 5.5 has garnered 9% of bets for the under and 91% for the over. Don't miss this exciting matchup between two competitive teams in the NHL.

Vegas won the first game of this series in Dallas despite the Golden Knights dropping into the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference before the postseason began. They did so by scoring four goals on the road despite being outshot 29-15 by the Stars. Goaltending was a big reason for that advantage for the Knights, who should once again have the edge in this game as the Stars are simply not good enough at one of the most important positions on the ice to have major success in the playoffs.

If Dallas wants to win this Golden Knights vs Stars Game 2, they will need better goaltending than they got from Jake Oettinger in the series opener. Oettinger saved under 80% of the shots he faced in Game 1, and either he or a backup goaltender will need to be better between the pipes if the Stars are going to have any chance to avoid falling behind 2-0 after two home games. We don't expect that to happen, though, as Vegas has a great chance to win this game outright as an underdog.
