NHL Playoffs PrizePicks Player Predictions: Thursday (Golden Knights vs. Stars)

Dallas is on the brink of elimination as they suffered their first shutdown loss of the playoffs. We saw a sweep last night, so it could it happen again. Let’s look at some players that may or may not make an impact in this matchup.

Thursday's Best PrizePicks NHL Player Predictions

Here's a look at the best PrizePicks predictions for Thursday's NHL slate.

Alex Pietrangelo LESS THAN 4.5 Blocked Shots + Shots On Goal

The Golden Knights are just one win away from reaching their second Stanley Cup Final in franchise history. They have been playing tremendous two-way hockey throughout the playoffs, but especially in this series. The offensive units have been able to find contributors on every line, and goaltending has kept the Stars quiet.

Alex Pietrangelo averaged 3.11 blocks per game in the first two rounds, with four of nine having over two shots on goal. He's yet to go over two SOG and has 1.5 blocks per game in this series. Look for him to finish low on both stats in this game.

Jason Robertson MORE THAN 18:45 Time On Ice

Although the games and series scores don't show it, Dallas has done their best offensively to stay in contention. In this series, they hold the advantage in shots on goal, expected goals, and high-danger shots, but Adin Hill has been a brick wall.

It's going to be all hands on deck for the Stars as they try to continue their season. This means keeping their best players on the ice. Jason Robertson has eclipsed this total ice time in the first two games, and the only reason he didn't in Game 3 was that they were down four goals in the third period.
