Emerging victorious from a tightly contested Game #7 with a 2-1 win over the Seattle Kraken, the Dallas Stars are set to face off against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game #1 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Golden Knights, fresh from securing a decisive 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in the 6th game of their best-of-seven series, will be hosting the matchup. This game, on May 19, 2023, promises to be an exciting Western Conference finals, and tonight's total is set at 5.5, which makes us believe the bookmakers are anticipating a low-scoring affair for Game #1.
