(D1) Dallas Stars vs (WC2) Vegas Golden Knights

The Dallas Stars are set to play against the Vegas Golden Knights at 6:30 p.m. CT on ESPN tonight. Heading into tonight’s game 5 matchup, the series is tied 2-2. The top seeded Stars have been struggling against the wild card team from Las Vegas, as the Stars lost the first two games at home. However, the Golden Knights proceeded to lose both of their home games.

Neither team has been able to win on their home ice, which makes tonight’s game so important. These two teams have some playoff history from last year, as they met in the Western Conference Finals. The Golden Knights won that series in six games, and the Stars are trying to avenge that series loss over the next few days. With so much on the line in this evening’s pivotal game 5, both teams will give it their all to take a commanding 3-2 series lead.

(D2) Edmonton Oilers vs (D3) Los Angeles Kings

The Edmonton Oilers face off against the Los Angeles Kings in game 5 of their series tonight at 9 p.m. CT on ESPN. The Oilers currently hold a 3-1 series lead over the Kings, as they have won the last two games to take control of the series. Despite winning game 2 in overtime on the road, the Kings failed to win either of their home games. The Oilers dominated game 3 with a 6-1 victory, and won game 4 through a defensive battle that ended 1-0.

The Kings are facing a massive challenge heading into Edmonton for game 5 tonight because they have to win three games in a row to advance this postseason. Since two of the games in this series were decided by one goal, the Kings could win tonight and keep their season alive. However, the Oilers have showcased offensive and defensive prowess throughout each game in this series.

NHL fans can watch both hockey games tonight on ESPN for free by using the free trials offered by Fubo TV and DirecTV Stream. If both free trials have already been used before, then fans can try out Sling at a discounted price for the first month of service.
