Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Jamie Benn O 0.5 Points -145 (BetMGM)

The Vegas Golden Knights will take on the Dallas Stars on the road. The Golden Knights won Games One and Two in overtime and have a 2-0 lead. The Stars’ Jamie Benn is the subject of this prop. Benn is no longer a spring chicken but is still an effective player. The 33-year-old played in every regular season game this season and had 78 points. His Playoff production has been nearly on par with his regular-season production. The winger has three goals and eight assists in the Playoffs. He will have another point in this game. Bet on the over.

Benn failed to secure a point in Game Two but had a goal in Game One. He has played seven games at home in the Playoffs and has seven points. Benn has been better at home than on the road and will have the home crowd on his side today. Since he is playing in Dallas, I will expect at least a point from home. Bet on the over.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Tyler Seguin U 2.5 Shots on Goal -125 (BetMGM)

We will look at the Stars’ Tyler Seguin for our second prop bet of the day. Seguin is a highly-regarded player but has been quiet in the last two rounds. He was dominant in the First Round against the Minnesota Wild but has been pretty slow since then. He had a one-goal, one-assist game against the Seattle Kraken in the First Round but has otherwise been stifled. This game will be no different. Seguin will be quiet and finish with two or fewer shots. Bet on the under.

Seguin is averaging three shots per game in the Playoffs but only had two shots in his last game. The veteran has not been playing to form, which you can see in his shot totals. Seguin also shot twice in Game Seven of the Second Round and has not scored a goal since Game Two against the Kraken. There is not much else to say. Seguin will have one or two shots in this game. Bet on the under.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Jason Robertson O 0.5 Assists -150 (BetMGM)

The Stars’ Jason Robertson will be the subject of our third prop of the day. Robertson has not been scoring much in the Playoffs, but he has put on a passing display and has 11 assists. Robertson will continue to pass well today and will have an assist. Bet on the over.

Robertson did not have an assist in his last game (although he did have a goal) but had an assist in Game One. He has only gone more than one game without an assist once in the Playoffs, so an assist today is a pretty safe bet. The Stars’ offense will also be a little more active today and put more shots on the net now that they are at home. Play it safe and bet on the over.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Reilly Smith U 2.5 Shots on Goal -155 (BetMGM)

Our first three props were regarding Stars’ players, but our final three will regard Golden Knights’ players. This prop will involve Reilly Smith. Smith has not been excellent in the Playoffs, but he has had his moments. The winger comes into this game with two goals and eight assists in the Playoffs. Smith has seen a decrease in his shooting output since the First Round, and I do not expect that to change today. The 32-year-old will have two or fewer shots. Bet on the under.

Smith only put up one shot in Game Two and has shot twice or less in eight Playoff games. The Golden Knights will have their toughest matchup yet in this series, as they are playing on the road, so I expect the whole Vegas team to be a little slower and put a few less shots on the net. The same thing will go for Smith. He will not be able to get many good shots and will only have one or two. Bet on the under.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Chandler Stephenson O 0.5 Points -120 (BetMGM)

Our fifth prop bet of the day will involve Chandler Stephenson. Stephenson was the hero of Game Two and scored the game-winning goal in overtime. This was his biggest goal of the Playoffs. I do not know if he will score again in this today, but he will have at least an assist. Bet on the over.

Stephenson has 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in the Playoffs. Three of those points have come in this series and two came in the Second Round against the Edmonton Oilers. Stephenson has returned to form after a slow Second Round and will continue producing today. He has the necessary momentum to wreak havoc on the ice today and finish with at least one point. Bet on the over.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars

Alex Pietrangelo U 0.5 Points -140 (BetMGM)

We are on to our sixth and final prop bet of the day. We will look at Alex Pietrangelo for this prop. Pietrangelo is a premier defender in this league, but his offense is often slow, and he struggles to score goals. This game will be no different. Pietrangelo will come up big on the defensive end but will be quiet on the offensive end. Bet on the under.

Pietrangelo has played a lot of key minutes in the Playoffs. He is averaging over 24 minutes a game on the ice. The defenseman has zero goals and eight assists in the Playoffs. He had an assist in Game One but failed to record a point in Game One. The Golden Knights will struggle a little more in this road game, so Pietrangelo will have fewer opportunities to get an assist. Play it safe and bet on the over.
