Dallas vs. Minnesota: NHL Match Prediction

Current form

Dallas played at home for a long time, where they showed mixed results, and the team showed itself especially badly in the last two matches with very serious opponents. The Stars hosted Toronto on the road and were unable to withstand the powerful pressure of the opponent, suffering a crushing defeat with a score of 3:5. Goalie Oettinger showed a terrible game, who had to be replaced at the beginning of the third period after four goals were missed. Then the team fought with the Rangers and this time was unable to show its attacking potential, scoring only one goal, which ultimately led to another failure (1:3). What is especially noteworthy is that the Stars made 42 shots at the goal in three periods, but the puck stubbornly refused to fly into the target.

The team was able to rehabilitate itself before the fans for the lost points already on the road, where it fought with Utah and this time showed itself much better, winning in regulation time with a score of 3:2. DeSmith played in goal, he played much better than his teammate and reflected 93% of the shots. A small decline led to the fact that the club dropped to the eighth place in the Western Conference table and is already on the verge of leaving the playoff zone, and the advantage over the nearest competitor is only one point.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dallas has no problems with its roster. Only Seguin is in the infirmary.
