Surprising decision by Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy to bench No. 1 goalie Logan Thompson tonight for Adin Hill, the 2023 playoff hero. Thompson has been very good in this series with a 2.35 GAA and .921 SV but the Knights have dropped the past two. Partly due to injury/illness and also obviously due to Thompson, Hill has played in only three of the Knights' last 16 contests (last on April 18) in which he was 1-2 with a 3.68 GAA. Seems like a panic decision and at some point, the home team is winning a game. Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger has allowed exactly two goals in the past three games and if he does again, I'll take my chances.

The games in this series have all begun to look the same, down to the road teams winning each time (which has happened in the first four!). Quality scoring chances for Vegas have been few in the entire series as Pete DeBoer's Dallas defense continues to win most of the puck battles in the neutral zone and has been stopping VGK rushes before they begin. The starring roles in this series to date, however, have belonged to goalies Jake Oettinger and Logan Thompson, and with limited scoring opportunities both ways this one can't help but look like an "under" in Big D.
