ASA TOP PLAY 10* on Dallas Stars Money Line (+) over Vegas Golden Knights, Thursday at 8 PM ET

There is simply no way to justify this money line being this high and we like this situation so much we are going to a top play rating in Game 3 between the Stars and Golden Knights. Vegas is simply over-valued here. Yes they won Game 2 but now Dallas is the designated home team in Game 3 and, as such, gets the last line change. The biggest key is how well the Stars have performed when off a loss here in this post-season. The last 6 times that Dallas was off a loss they have gone 5-1 - winning 83% of the time! Much has been made of the Stars struggling to score in this series but they got the early 1-0 lead in Game 1 and then played a different style the rest of the way. Basically a defensive, preventative type of game and it worked and Dallas won Sunday. But now, after Tuesday's loss, look for Dallas to turn back to their offensive firepower. The last 4 wins they have in that aforementioned 5-1 mark have seen the Stars end up with 5 goals each time! Also, speaking of struggling to score goals, Vegas had struggled prior to winning Game 3 by a final 3-0 score. The Golden Knights are a team that had scored only four goals, two into an empty net by the way, in their previous four games. That was during a time when they were being frustrated by the Canucks and a red hot goalie. As for Stars goalie Khudobin, he has been playing very well and is fully capable of another strong start just like he had in Game 1 of this series. When Khudobin enters a start off losing his prior start, he is a perfect 3-0 L3. He has not lost back to back starts since the first two games of the Flames series (and played well in those actually) and that was nearly a month ago! Khudobin and the Stars, per our computer math model, put forth a fantastic game here in Game 3. Bet the Dallas Stars on the money line in evening action Thursday.
