The Vegas Golden Knights are heading home with a commanding 2-0 series lead after defeating the Dallas Stars 3-1 in Game 2.
The Golden Knights have a perfect record in series where they lead 2-0. While they acknowledge the advantage, they are aware that the Stars are a dangerous team, especially on the road. Dallas boasts the best road record in the regular season and will be looking to bounce back.
Vegas Golden Knights vs Dallas Stars
The outlook for the Stars appears bleak. They’ve lost nine of their last eleven meetings against the Golden Knights and face a daunting task of overcoming a 2-0 deficit, especially against the defending champions.
Coach Pete DeBoer remains optimistic, pointing to the team’s strong regular season road record (26-10-5) and their ability to score and defend effectively. The 2002 Detroit Red Wings offer inspiration, as they were the last number one seed to win a series after falling behind 2-0.
The upcoming matchup in Vegas promises to be electric. The Golden Knights will be fueled by their passionate home crowd, eager to see their Stanley Cup champions in action. The Stars, however, are a resilient team with a never-say-die attitude.
