Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

Over the last two seasons, the Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks have faced off five times, with the Stars emerging victorious in three of those encounters while the Sharks claimed two wins. These matchups have seen a fairly even distribution of victories between the home and visiting teams, with the home side winning three games and the visitors taking two. When it comes to betting statistics, the Sharks have proven to be the more reliable team against the spread, covering it in four out of the five games, whereas the Stars have only beaten the spread once. The over/under betting has tended to favor high-scoring games, with the over hitting four times compared to just once for the under. In terms of moneyline favorites, the favored team has won three out of the five games. The games have been characterized by a considerable number of goals, with the total score across all five games reaching 40, averaging eight goals per game. The Stars have shown a strong offensive presence, scoring 22 goals in total, while the Sharks have netted 18 times.

The most recent game between the two teams, played on March 5, 2024, was a high-scoring affair with the Dallas Stars narrowly defeating the San Jose Sharks with a final score of 7-6. The Stars, who were the favorites with a closing moneyline of -410, managed to secure the win despite the Sharks’ resilience. The game saw a total of 13 goals, significantly exceeding the closing over/under line of 6.5. The Sharks, however, covered the spread as underdogs with a closing spread of +1.5. Key players for the Stars included Anthony Duclair and Fabian Zetterlund, who each scored two goals, while Logan Stankoven and Wyatt Johnston also contributed with two goals apiece. On the Sharks’ side, Ryan Carpenter, Filip Zadina, and Mikael Granlund were among the goal scorers. The Stars’ Jake Oettinger faced 20 shots and made 14 saves, while the Sharks’ Kaapo Kahkonen faced a more challenging night with 40 shots against him, saving 33. Despite the close scoreline, the Stars’ offensive edge and ability to capitalize on their power play opportunities, where they scored two goals, were key factors in their victory.

Dallas Stars vs. San Jose Sharks Predictions

As the Dallas Stars head into the SAP Center, they bring with them a potent offense led by Jason Robertson, who has tallied 72 points this season, and Roope Hintz, the team’s goal-scoring leader with 26. The Stars have been formidable on the road, boasting a 22-9-5 record away from home. They sit comfortably in the playoff picture, currently holding the second spot in the Central Division. Their recent form, including a high-scoring victory over the Sharks earlier this month, suggests they’re in prime position to continue their winning ways against a San Jose team that has struggled to find consistency all season.

The San Jose Sharks, on the other hand, are enduring a challenging season, anchored at the bottom of the conference standings. Despite the efforts of Mikael Granlund, who leads the team with 46 points, and Fabian Zetterlund, their top goal scorer with 20, the Sharks have found wins hard to come by. Their defense has been particularly porous, contributing to their seven-game losing streak. The Sharks will need to muster a significantly improved performance on both ends of the ice if they hope to upset the Stars in this encounter.

This game will also feature a battle between the pipes, with the Stars likely relying on Jake Oettinger, who has been a stable presence in goal, against the Sharks’ Kaapo Kahkonen, who has faced a barrage of shots this season. Special teams could play a crucial role, as Dallas has shown proficiency on the power play, a weakness for San Jose’s penalty kill unit. As these teams prepare to meet, all eyes will be on whether the Stars can maintain their dominance or if the Sharks can harness the energy of their home crowd to pull off an unexpected victory.

Dallas Stars vs. San Jose Sharks Pick

Given the stark contrast in current form and overall team strength, the smart money is on the Dallas Stars to continue their winning streak against the San Jose Sharks. The Stars have been dominant on the road with a 22-9-5 record, and they come into this game on a four-game winning streak. Their offensive firepower, led by Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz, has been a key factor in their success, and they have already proven their ability to outscore the Sharks in their recent high-scoring encounter. Additionally, the Stars’ special teams have been effective, which could exploit the Sharks’ weaker penalty kill.

On the other side, the Sharks are on a seven-game losing streak and have the worst record in the conference. Their defensive struggles and inability to consistently produce offense make it difficult to justify a bet on their moneyline, despite the potential for higher returns. The historic head-to-head data also favors the Stars, who have won three out of the last five meetings and have outscored the Sharks 22-18 in those games. Considering these factors, the Dallas Stars moneyline bet is the more reliable choice for this matchup.

The Pick: Dallas Stars -400 (BetRivers)
