LAST TIME OUT
The Golden Knights came up short on Sunday, falling 4-2 to the Edmonton Oilers at T-Mobile Arena. Following a scoreless first period, Trent Frederic gave Edmonton the lead early in the second before Noah Hanifin’s point shot brought the Golden Knights even. The Oilers pulled ahead once again in the third on a Vasily Podkolzin breakaway, and Leon Draisaitl extended the lead to 3-1. Jack Eichel potted a shorthanded goal to cut the deficit to one, but Kasperi Kapanen’s empty-netter late in the final frame sealed the 4-2 final.
SEASON SERIES
Vegas dropped the first meeting of the season series, 5-4, in a shootout, on Jan. 29 at T-Mobile Arena. The Golden Knights trailed by three goals in the third period before rallying to force overtime, capped by Mitch Marner’s tally with 49 seconds left in regulation. Reilly Smith added a shorthanded goal in the third period comeback, with Ivan Barbashev and Keegan Kolesar also scoring for Vegas. Mavrik Bourque paced Dallas with two goals, and Jason Robertson and Mikko Rantanen converted in the shootout to give the Stars an extra point and the shootout win over the Golden Knights.
OPPOSITION UPDATE
The Stars host Tuesday’s game sitting second in the Central Division with a record of 39-14-10 and 88 points, seven points back of the league-leading Colorado Avalanche. Dallas rode a franchise-record 10-game winning streak before Colorado ended it in a shootout on March 6. The Stars bounced back Sunday, extending their point streak to 12 games in a 4-3 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Jason Robertson leads Dallas with 74 points (34G, 40A), while Mikko Rantanen has chipped in 69 points (20G, 49A), and Wyatt Johnston follows with 67 points (34G, 33A). Dallas bolstered their depth at the trade deadline, adding defenseman Tyler Myers from Vancouver and winger Michael Bunting from Nashville.

KEYS TO THE GAME
Get the Kill: Dallas ranks second in the league with a 29.9 power-play percentage this season. Part of the Stars’ success on the man advantage comes from having Wyatt Johnston who paces the NHL with 21 power-play goals. Vegas has killed eight straight penalties since March 2, so it’s critical that the Golden Knights shutdown the Stars and allow Vegas to gain momentum from a strong penalty kill.
Clog the Crease: With Jake Oettinger in net, Dallas has one of the more reliable goaltenders in the Western Conference. Vegas will need to establish a net-front presence, win battles in the dirty areas, and generate second-chance opportunities rather than relying on perimeter play.
