Dallas Stars vs. Ottawa Senators Predictions
The Dallas Stars, currently second in the Western Conference, are hitting the road with hopes of snapping their recent skid and maintaining their strong season record. The Stars boast a potent offense led by Jason Robertson, who has tallied an impressive 56 points this season, and Roope Hintz, the team’s top goal scorer. Despite their recent losses, the Stars have shown resilience and will look to their offensive firepower and solid defensive play, ranking among the top teams in the league, to overcome the Senators.
Ottawa, sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic Division, has had a season of ups and downs but has shown they can be competitive, especially on home ice at the Canadian Tire Centre. The Senators are led by Tim Stutzle and Brady Tkachuk, who have been key contributors on offense. The Senators will need to leverage their home-ice advantage and look to their top players to make an impact against the formidable Stars. With both teams averaging around three penalties per game, discipline could play a crucial role in the outcome of this matchup.
This game will also feature a goaltending duel that could be the deciding factor. The Stars’ Jake Oettinger is expected to start and will need to bounce back after a tough stretch, while the Senators may rely on the goaltending of Anton Forsberg to keep them in the game. As both teams vie for a victory, key player matchups, particularly in the faceoff circle and on special teams, will be critical in determining who comes out on top in this inter-conference showdown.
Dallas Stars vs. Ottawa Senators Pick
The Dallas Stars enter this matchup with a strong overall record and a notable offensive threat, making them the favorable pick despite their recent losing streak. The Stars’ ability to average 29 shots on goal across their last three games against the Senators demonstrates their offensive capabilities, and with players like Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz leading the charge, they have the firepower to break through Ottawa’s defenses. Additionally, the Stars’ solid defensive play, which ranks them among the top teams in the league, provides a foundation for success on the road. While the Senators have been reliable against the spread in past meetings, the Stars’ need to maintain their lead in the Central Division and their superior win percentage suggests they will be highly motivated to secure a victory.
Historically, home ice has been an advantage in this matchup, but the Stars’ urgency to end their losing streak and the Senators’ position at the bottom of their division indicate a potential shift in this trend. The Stars’ goaltending duo of Jake Oettinger and Scott Wedgewood has combined for a higher save percentage in the most recent game against the Senators, which could be a critical factor in a tightly contested game. Considering the Stars’ overall performance this season and their ability to bounce back after tough games, the Dallas Stars moneyline bet is the more compelling choice for this NHL showdown.
