Command Analysis
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas had been in great shape for a long time, and their winning streak had reached seven games. However, the long upswing was followed by a natural decline, and the series of successful performances was interrupted away to Ottawa, where they had to lose in regulation time (2:3). At the end of the meeting, the stars were able to realize the majority, but there was not enough time for a full comeback. Then the team went to visit Toronto, where they showed themselves much better and were able to crush an opponent of their level with a score of 4:1. The most productive players were forwards Stankoven and Duchene, who scored three goals between them and gave a similar number of assists. One cannot help but note the efforts of goalkeeper Oettinger, who reflected 96% of the shots, which did not allow the Leafs to cling to a comeback.
It seemed that, having returned to the home arena, the club would continue to please the fans with successes and once again prove its superiority over Montreal, but serious problems with the implementation of moments in attack, of which there were plenty, arose. As a result, they had to lose with a score of 1:3, and out of 33 shots, only one hit the target. The team was unable to rehabilitate itself away to Colorado. This time, huge problems arose in defense, which led to a rout with a score of 3:6. Goalkeeper DeSmith also showed his worst side, reflecting only 83% of the shots. Due to lost points and tough competition at the top of the Western Conference, Dallas has already dropped to fifth place in the table, although it was clearly aiming for the leaders. And now the gap from the coveted first position is eight points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas still has Marchment and Seguin in the infirmary, and Hintz is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dallas averages 3.2 goals per game
The team is distinguished by its excellent attacking play and consistently creates serious problems for the opponents' defense.
- On average, stars receive 6.7 penalty minutes per game.
The club can also boast excellent discipline.
Detroit Red Wings
USACurrent form
Detroit has been on a strong run for a long time, winning eight games in a row. However, the team has struggled lately, and it looks like a slump. The Red Wings opened their home series with a 3-2 overtime win over Ottawa. The team created many dangerous moments, but the execution was disappointing. However, in the next two games, the Wings showed their offensive potential, winning confidently over Chicago (5-3) and Seattle (6-2). Forward Kane showed an excellent game, scoring five points in both games.
However, in the final match of the home series, the team failed to show their best side and unexpectedly lost to San Jose with a score of 3:6. This interrupted their winning streak. The team underestimated the opponent, and goalie Husso reflected only 78% of the shots. It is impossible not to note the team weak play in unequal compositions: first, they conceded a puck in the majority, and then allowed the opponent to realize the numerical superiority. Detroit was able to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans on the road, confidently defeating a stronger opponent - Florida, smashing the Panthers with a difference of three goals (5:2). Forward Larkin became the most productive player, scoring twice and giving an assist. However, on the road, Tampa Bay again had serious problems in defense, which ultimately led to a rout (1:5). The Wings created a huge number of dangerous moments in attack, but out of 40 shots, only one hit the target. Goalie Talbot also didn't perform well and had to be replaced early in the third period. The long rally was almost able to help the club climb into the playoff zone, and the gap to eighth place was reduced to four points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lyon and Petrie will definitely not be able to take part in the upcoming fight.
Interesting trends for betting
- Detroit is allowing an average of 3.2 goals per game.
The wings' main problem remains their weak defensive play.
- The Red Wings average 6.3 penalty minutes per game.
But the team is distinguished by excellent discipline and very rarely gets sent off.

1.48Tip and bets
Dallas is a clear favorite in the upcoming match, despite a slight decline. The team is superior to its opponent in all respects, which is proven from match to match. The Stars look much better than Detroit this season, and they practically never lose at home. As you can see, the Wings are also not in the best shape and have now started to lose points, which clearly indicates a decline. So we suggest not to take risks and bet on the home team.
Our prediction is Dallas win at 1.76
Bet on total
The upcoming match may well be productive. Both teams mainly bet on the attacking line, and Detroit also has serious problems in defense and constantly loses points because of this. So, as a second bet, we choose total over.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Dallas plays great in the first period and rarely allows opponents to gain an advantage, and often wins in the opening period. So Detroit should have serious problems at the beginning of the meeting.
Prediction - Dallas win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.50
