Command Analysis
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
After a very confident start in the home series and an easy victory over Calgary, Dallas met with Nashville and should have also earned points, but this time the Stars' efficiency disappeared somewhere, which led to an unexpected defeat with a score of 1:4. The fans were disappointed with the game of their favorites, but in the match with St. Louis, the Stars managed to win over the obvious underdog in overtime with a score of 2:1. Despite the fact that Dallas looked much better than their opponent throughout the game, they were unable to score due to the reliable play of the Blues goalie. It seemed that DeBoer team would have additional difficulties in the next match with the leader of the Eastern Conference. However, this time the Stars showed themselves in all their glory and were able to achieve the desired result in regulation time (3:1).
It seemed that DeBoer charges would also be able to give a worthy rebuff to Toronto, but this did not happen. Serious problems arose in defense, which ultimately led to a rout (3:5). Goalie Oettinger showed himself very poorly, and had to be replaced at the beginning of the third period. Even despite the lost points, the team continues to remain in fifth place in the Western Conference standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas has some roster issues, with Seguin sidelined and Harley and Lundqvist questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dallas averages 3.3 goals per game
Dallas has been very productive on offense this season.
- The Stars are averaging seven penalty minutes per game.
The club can also boast excellent discipline, which allows it to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.
New York Rangers
USACurrent form
The Rangers' slump has already dragged on for quite some time, and their losing streak has once again reached three games. The team played at home, where it was unable to give Los Angeles a worthy fight, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 1:5. The defensive line showed its worst side, allowing the opponent to create many dangerous moments near its goal, and goalkeeper Shesterkin failed to cope with his main task, and he had to be replaced at the beginning of the second period.
Then the "cops" went to visit "St. Louis" and by the middle of the second twenty minutes were already losing to "Blues" by three goals. At the end of the game, "New York" was still able to show itself in attack, scoring two goals in a row, but in the end still lost with a score of 2:3. This time, Quick was in goal, but he also did not play reliably enough. It seemed that Laviolette charges would be able to cling to points in the match with "Nashville", but this time the club was left without goals at all, suffering a dry defeat (0:2). Due to the long decline, they have already had to drop to 11th place in the Eastern Conference table.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team top scoring forward Panarin was injured and will most likely not be able to take part in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Rangers are allowing an average of three goals per game.
The Cops cannot boast of a reliable defensive game this season.
- On average, New York receives 8.5 penalty minutes per game.
It is also worth noting that the club players do not have the best discipline.

1.45Tip and bets
Dallas has a great opportunity to rehabilitate themselves before the fans for the defeat from Toronto. The Stars will again play at home, where with the support of their home crowd they have a much better chance to show their best side. And in general, the Stars are in optimal shape, which cannot be said about the Rangers, who have completely stopped fighting back their competitors and even suffer losses from obvious outsiders. So we suggest not to take risks and make a confident bet in favor of the home team.
Our prediction is a Dallas win at 1.92
Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored. Both teams have been betting on the attacking line throughout the regular championship. It is unlikely that anything will change, so as a second bet we choose total over.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.86
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Dallas will try to give a serious rebuff to the Rangers from the first minutes of the match and, due to the home advantage, is quite capable of winning in the opening segment, which is what we suggest betting on.
Prediction - Dallas win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.60
