The current betting odds have the Golden Knights listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is game 5 of a 7-game series between the Stars and the Golden Knights for the Western Conference finals of the NHL playoffs. The Golden Knights are entering this game with a 3-1 series lead after going up 3-0 in the series and losing game 4 in Dallas. The Stars fought hard in game 4 on home ice to get 1 game back and get a foot in this series but it might be too late for them going back to Vegas now for game 5 on the brink of elimination. The Golden Knights were great all season as they are the number 1 seed in the West and they have been rolling in the playoffs in their games lately. They have started strong in every series getting out to early leads while the Stars have done the opposite, struggling to get out of the gate early in these series and usually having to play from behind. It has finally come back to bite them though as they now face elimination and the Golden Knights have just been better on both the defensive end and the offensive end in this series. Oettinger kept the Stars in game 4 but he has been really up and down in this series and will be tough for him to follow up again on the road with another great performance while Hill has really been making good use of his shot to prove himself in these games. This series is pretty much done so look for the Golden Knights to end it on home ice here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Golden Knights to win this game.

“He's ageless. ... I've seen that movie over and over again. Never gets old. He lives for those moments and he wants to be in those situations. Always has, and delivers almost every time.” - Peter DeBoer on Joe Pavelski after his team’s win against the Golden Knights in their game on Thursday, game 4 of this series.

“Our effort wasn’t good enough. Closing a series is probably the hardest game in a series, right, so it just wasn’t good enough from our group. It was still a one-goal game in overtime. It was right there for us.” - Jonathan Marchessault after their loss against the Stars in their game on Thursday, game 4 of this series.
