It’s been a thrilling series thus far with the Golden Knights taking a 2-0 series lead, while the Dallas Stars fought back in Sin City with back-to-back wins on the road.

Tonight on home ice, we are backing the Stars’ top shot taker this post-season to go over his shot total for a 3rd game in a row.

Wyatt on Fire

Averaging 4.2 shots per game thus far into the playoffs, we like the plus money available on Wyatt Johnston to see 4+ shots tonight for NHL betting odds at +120. Johnston has been the 5th-highest shot taker this postseason and has had 1/3/8 and 6 shots in each of his first four playoff games this season.

The Pick

The 2021 1st-round pick has been one of the Stars’ leading players in their two previous games in which they fought hard to get back into the series. It’s no coincidence Johnston scored three goals in those two road wins and tonight we expect him to continue to get shots on net, especially with his goalscoring form.

We love these odds at +120 and would happily bet it down to +100. We also like the over 2.5 line, although that’s heavily juiced at -145.
