Command Analysis

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas ended a three-game road series that started off very well. In the first game, the team faced Tampa Bay and easily won 4-2. The defensive line showed an excellent performance, especially goalie Oettinger, who saved 93% of the shots. However, the Stars were unable to consolidate their success, as they lost to Carolina in the next game (4-6). As you can see, the defensive line did not perform so well this time, but it is also worth noting the weak attack, as evidenced by the very small number of shots on the opponent goal.
It seemed that the Stars would easily rehabilitate themselves before the fans and leave no chance for Chicago, but this did not happen. Once again, DeBoer charges failed to cope with the pressure of the opponent, which led to a rout with a score of 2:6. This time, DeSmith played in goal, and he played even worse than his teammate. Returning to the home arena, the club met with Colorado and finally achieved the desired result, winning a confident victory due to a very productive game in the attack (5:3). In particular, it is worth praising the forward Marshment, who scored twice and also gave an assist. At the moment, Dallas is in fifth place in the Western Conference table, but it is worth considering that its closest competitors have played much fewer matches, which means that there is every chance to fight even for the leadership.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas has no serious problems with its roster. Hintz, Lundqvist and Stankoven remain questionable, but they may still have time to recover for the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Dallas allows 2.6 goals per game.
The Stars have been playing great defense this season and rarely let in a lot of goals.
- On average, the team takes 30 shots per game
The Stars also have a very active attacking game, which allows them to consistently create a large number of dangerous moments in the opponent zone.

Winnipeg Jets

Current form
Winnipeg has been playing away for a long time, where it has shown mixed results. In five games, the team has won only two victories, one over the obvious underdog Pittsburgh (4:1), and the second over a very serious opponent in the person of Minnesota (4:1). Goalie Hellebuyck showed a magnificent game twice, reflecting 60 shots in both games. What is especially noteworthy is that the Jets could not cope with Nashville, which has had problems since the very start of the season, losing to the Predators with a score of 1:4. This time, the club allowed the opponent to create a huge number of dangerous moments in its zone and did not respond in kind.
The situation was almost the same in Los Angeles, Arniel team made only 14 shots on goal in three periods, which, of course, was not enough, and as a result they had to suffer another defeat (1:4). Then Winnipeg met Vegas and this time showed a more active game in attack and was able to score three goals, but still suffered a loss (3:4) due to lapses in defense and not the most successful game of goalie Comrie. Indeed, the Jets' long rise was replaced by a natural decline, due to which the team may soon leave the leading position in the Western Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Remarkably, Winnipeg has no serious problems with its roster. Only Samberg is in the infirmary, and Ehlers remains questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Winnipeg averages 3.8 goals per game
Before the downturn, the club remained the league top scorer and consistently scored a huge number of goals from game to game.
- The Jets converted 32% of their power play attempts.
The "Fighters" show excellent play in attack and due to this they consistently take advantage of their opponents' penalties.
Trends
Bet 2nd period: total under 1.5 goals
In three out of four head-to-head matches, the teams failed to score more than one goal in the second period.
2.36Goal in each period bet - yes
In three head-to-head matches in a row, the teams scored a goal in each period
1.45Tip and bets
It can be said that Dallas is lucky to meet Winnipeg at this time, since the Jets are currently in terrible shape and cannot cope even with obvious underdogs. What is especially noteworthy is that the Jets have stopped showing an active game in attack and make very few shots on the opponents' goal. The Stars do not have such a problem, due to which they continue to earn points steadily. The Stars show their best performance at home, where with the support of fans they should easily cope with the guests.
Our prediction is a Dallas win at 2.15
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, you shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored. Dallas is distinguished by a very reliable game in defense, and Winnipeg has serious problems with the effectiveness of the attack and it is unlikely that anything will change seriously in such a short period of time, which means that as a second bet we choose the total under.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.72
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Due to the home advantage, Dallas will play first and has every chance to create serious pressure on Winnipeg from the first minutes of the match, which the opponent may not be ready for. We believe that the "stars" will be able to earn an advantage already at the end of the opening segment.
Prediction - Dallas win in the first period with a handicap of (0) for 1.70
