Dallas Stars vs Vegas Golden Knights Game 2: Preview, lines, predictions, where to watch | 2023 NHL Westen Conference Final

Dallas Stars lost to Vegas Golden Knights in OT in Game 1. The two teams go at it again today live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for a 3 p.m. ET puck drop.

Weirdly, the Dallas Stars are in familiar territory. They have a 5-0 record in the playoffs after losing a game having conceded only 11 goals in those five games.

Forward Tyler Seguin said,

"We've done this every round. We didn't want to do this every round, but here we are again."

The Stars lost Game 1 in the first round and came back to win 7-3 in Game 2 against Minnesota Wild. In the second round, after losing Game 1 against the Seattle Kraken, they won 4-2 in Game 2.

Dallas Stars head coach Peter DeBoer would rather have his team in the driving seat of this series,

"I wish we wouldn't have to respond so much, that's my problem with it.

He gives credit to the team's resilience and their ability to quickly fix the gaps in their game. He said,

I think we've got to get a little more consistency to our game, but to our group's credit, they're an honest group and we have honest conversations of the things we need to fix and whether our commitment was in the right place on the right type of things. They've typically fixed it."

The Vegas Golden Knights haven't exactly had smooth sailing in the previous rounds. They have had their ups and downs, but coach Bruce Cassidy believes in the character of the team. He said,

"I just think response is the beauty of the playoffs.That's why you're still playing, because you've got a lot of character and you're going to be upset if you don't play your best game."

He believes what matters is how you respond to being defeated, that his team has done a great job of it, and said,

"That's going to be our goal to manage that and elevate our game. We haven't gone up 2-0 either, so for us it's a bit of a test as well."

Stars vs Golden Knights prediction

The Dallas Stars will like to continue their streak of winning Game 2 after losing the first. Jason Robertson finally stepped up after an eight-game scoreless streak. He will be important for the Stars today.

Adin Hill and Jake Oettinger will have yet another battle in goal for both sides but Oettinger will have the final laugh today.

William Karlsson scored two goals in Game 1, but Dallas Stars will be ready with a plan to lock him down for Game 2.
