#9 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Dallas Stars +105 over Vegas Golden Knights, Sunday at 3 PM ET - If you watched Game 1 you know that there were some fortunate bounces of the puck that favored Vegas. The Golden Knights got some breaks and, overall, we liked what we saw from Dallas in that one even though they came up just short in the 4-3 OT loss. Dallas is now in a strong play on position as they have been so strong off a loss. 22-11 is the combined score of the 5 victories that the Stars have in this post-season when they enter a game off a loss. 18-9 is the combined score of the 4 victories that Dallas had following each of their last 4 regular season losses. We are now moving into the latter third of May and you have to go all the way back to mid-March to find the last time the Stars were dealt B2B losses. We like the Stars to play a very tight-checking game here and be a little more physical than they were in Game 1. The last 9 times they were off a loss they allowed an average of only 2 goals per game while they scored 4.4 goals per game. This is a well-coached team with plenty of veteran personnel on its roster too. They will be ready to respond here and we don't expect so much "puck luck" for the Golden Knights in this one as they certainly had some good fortune in Game One. A key goal also happened for Vegas in the 3rd period on a play when the Stars goalie got bowled over and had no chance on the play. All of these factors are leading to value here. Also, because the Stars are on the road for this Game 2 revenge spot we get a great price. Grab the small underdog price with the road underdog here
