Golden Knights Favored to Defeat Struggling Stars in Upcoming Matchups

The Golden Knights have been performing exceptionally well in their recent games, winning five out of their last seven games and six out of their last eight home games. Their offense has been particularly impressive, scoring a total of nine goals in their last three games. Additionally, their special teams have been effective, converting over 20 percent of their power play opportunities. On the other hand, the Stars have been struggling defensively, allowing nine goals in their last three road games. This may pose a challenge for them in containing the Golden Knights. The Stars have also struggled offensively, scoring seven goals in their last three games. However, they have shown improvement on special teams, converting over 24 percent of their power play opportunities.
