T.M. Selection: Vegas Golden Knights.

I like the Vegas Golden Knights to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Tuesday. The Golden Knights haven't looked great in their games lately winning just 1/4 of their previous 4 games but I think they are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to be motivated after suffering a bad loss on home ice to the Sharks in a shootout considering those 2 teams have a lot of history already for the short amount the Knights have been in the league. I expect the Golden Knights to be angry over that loss and I expect to see them take out their anger on the Stars here who haven't looked great in their games lately either. The Stars just won their most recent game but it was on home ice to 1 of the worst teams in the league, the Kraken, and they lost 3 games in a row before winning that game. All of their losses during that time were by 2+ goals and came against teams that haven't been eliminated from contention yet. Right now there is a 4 team race in the West for the 2 Wild Card spots and both of these teams are part of that race. The Stars have a 3 point lead over Vegas and the Golden Knights are also the last team in that playoff hunt with the least amount of points of the 4 teams. A loss here could pretty much end their season and I don't think that is going to happen to them just yet. I expect the Golden Knights to get a bounce back win here and keep their playoff hopes alive. I like the Golden Knights to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Golden Knights.
