The first two rounds of the Stanley Cup playoffs are officially in the rearview mirror, and just two teams remain in the Western Conference – the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars.
The first two rounds have seen both teams face tough opponents, with the Golden Knights overcoming the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers and the Stars besting the Minnesota Wild and Seattle Kraken. Going into this series, the Golden Knights have Stanley Cup odds of +225, and the Stars trail at +325.
So who will win the Western Conference Final, and which players should you watch?
Stars vs. Golden Knights: Series Prediction
I predict the Dallas Stars will win the Western Conference Final in seven games, but according to implied betting odds, the Golden Knights are predicted to win the series with 58.33% confidence.
