Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina is in second place in the Eastern Conference and may soon gain leadership, because it is only one point behind New Jersey and has three games in reserve. For most of the season, the Hurricanes have demonstrated excellent results and were on a winning streak, and only recently have they begun to alternate successful matches with defeats. They began their last away series of games with a victory in Philadelphia (4:1), but then lost to the local Devils in Newark (2:4) and could not cope with the onslaught of Columbus in Ohio (4:5, B).
It is worth mentioning that the Hurricanes have been playing very well on their home ice throughout the year, winning six games out of seven. Their strongest performance can safely be called the first game segment, in which they have a 23:12 ratio of goals scored and goals conceded, and often earn a comfortable advantage. Plus, Rod Brindamour team is in perfect order with the game in unequal compositions. Firstly, he has a 24.2% power play conversion rate, and is also among the top seven in neutralizing the opponent power play, with 83.1%.
Martin Nečas also continues to show incredible play, having already reached the 33-point goal+pass mark and being the club top scorer by a wide margin over the other forwards.
Disqualifications and injuries
Frederik Andersen, Jesper Fast and Seth Jarvis will not take part in the upcoming fight due to injuries. The condition of Petr Kochetkov is still in question.
Interesting trends for betting

The Hurricanes play a powerful attack and spend a lot of time in the offensive zone, taking a lot of shots on the opponent goal.

Carolina doesn't play hard, so you rarely see a lot of power plays from them.

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas is in fifth place in the West with 26 points after 19 games. The team from Texas remains one of the most stable in the league and does not allow itself to lose in a series. And now the guests have a series of five victories in six games. Before leaving for Raleigh, Peter DeBoer charges sensationally lost to Anaheim on their home court (2:4), but then recouped in San Jose (5:2). At the start of the away tour, the Stars confidently won in Tampa (4:2) and confirmed their status as one of the best defenses in the league.
The Stars play great defense and so far this season have conceded only 2.32 goals on average. It should be noted that Dallas performs especially well in the opening segments of their games. In the first 20 minutes, Jamie Benn team has 20:13 goals scored and conceded. Jake Oettinger has gained excellent form. Together with him, the team has won five games in a row. The goalie has blocked 91.80% of shots in his possessions this season.
Matt Duchene remains the team leading scorer with 23 points (11+12). He is followed by Mitch Marshment, but the young Canadian has only made 18 scoring plays (6+12).

Nils Lundqvist may not play in Raleigh this Tuesday.

Trends

2.02Bet 2nd period: Dallas will score

1.47Tip and bets
We think that Carolina recent results cannot be ignored. Rod Brin'damour men clearly slowed down in their defensive actions and immediately paid for it. Now the participation of Petr Kochetkov is in question, which could be a serious loss for the hosts. Dallas is in excellent shape and continues to play great defense. The visitors should score points in Raleigh and take advantage of the opponents' weaknesses. Moreover, since 2021, the Stars have not lost to the Hurricanes in regular time. We suggest betting on the Stars' double chance,
Prediction - Dallas will not lose for 1.67
Bet on individual total
Carolina rarely scores less than three times, especially on home ice. This time, the Canes will face Dallas, which does not allow them to score in large quantities and is one of the most reliable clubs in the league. For three personal games, the Hurricanes have not been able to score at least three goals against the Stars. We believe that this streak will continue.
We bet on Carolina individual total of less than three goals with odds of 1.90
Total Bet
In recent years, meetings between the clubs have often been closed and have not pleased with a large number of accurate shots. Only once in the past 11 games have the teams managed to score at least seven goals. Now in Raleigh, two teams with strong defensive lines will meet. We do not think that anyone will force the events. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
We take the total under six goals with a coefficient of 1.85
