Vegas Golden Knights: Three predictions for Western Conference Finals
We have some predictions for the Vegas Golden Knights as they embark on the Western Conference Finals.
After beating the Vancouver Canucks in seven games, the Vegas Golden Knights will face the Dallas Stars with a trip to the Stanley Cup Final on the line.
It is the second time that the Golden Knights have made it to the Western Conference Finals in three years, and they will be hoping to make a second trip to the Stanley Cup Final in franchise history.
It won’t be easy, however, given that the Stars exploded offensively to see off the Colorado Avalanche in seven games in the Second Round.

Dallas has scored at least five goals in six of its last 10 games, and they are getting contributions from up and down the lineup.
Rookie Denis Gurianov leads the Stars forwards in points with 15 (8 G, 7 A), while Joel Kiviranta came in and recorded a hat trick in Game 7 against the Avalanche.
Then there is Miro Heiskanen who has been sensational inside The Bubble, recording 5 goals and 16 assists for 21 points in 16 games to continue his rise as one of the most talented young defensemen in the NHL.
But the Golden Knights are loaded themselves and are still the team to beat in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, aside from the Tampa Bay Lightning who are an absolute juggernaut.
So all the signs are there that this should be both a long and compelling series that could well go seven, and we decided to put together some predictions for the Western Conference Final between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars…
