Command Analysis
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas has had a tough time of late, with a seven-game winning streak ending in a 3-2 loss to Ottawa on the road. Although the team managed to capitalize on a power play late in the game, there wasn’t enough time for a full-fledged comeback. After that, the Stars traveled to Toronto, where they showed more confidence and won a crushing 4-1 victory over their peers. Forwards Stankoven and Duchene led the way in scoring, scoring three goals and making the same number of assists. Goalie Oettinger, who stopped 96% of the shots, also played a major role in the team’s success. The return to home seemed like an opportunity for the Stars to continue their winning streak and prove their superiority over Montreal. However, the team had problems converting their attacking chances, despite their abundance. In the end, the team lost 3-1, with only one shot finding the target out of 33.
In the next game, away against Colorado, Dallas again failed to rehabilitate. The team demonstrated serious problems in defense, which led to a crushing defeat with a score of 3:6. Goalkeeper DeSmith also failed to cope with his task, reflecting only 83% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the team fought Detroit and, due to the advantage of home stands, won a confident victory with a score of 4:1, thanks to which they rehabilitated themselves in front of the fans. Goalkeeper Oettinger showed an excellent game, reflecting 97% of the shots and did not allow the Red Wings to cling to points. A small decline did not affect the position of the club in any way. It continues to be in fifth place in the Western Conference standings, having 59 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
Dallas continues to excel in offensive play.
- On average, stars receive 6.7 penalty minutes per game.
The team also has excellent discipline and very rarely breaks the rules.
Carolina Hurricanes
USACurrent form
It might have seemed that Carolina was in a slump, as the team showed weak results in matches with obvious underdogs. The Hurricanes played at home, where they hosted Anaheim and, to the great surprise of the fans, suffered a defeat in overtime (2:3). What is especially noteworthy is that the team failed to score a single goal in the first two periods and only in the third twenty minutes did they get into the game, and tied the score a minute before the final whistle. Then the club went to visit Buffalo, where the situation repeated itself. The Hurricanes scored two goals in the third period and suffered a defeat with a score of 2:4. Goalie Tokarski showed his worst side, reflecting only 86% of the shots.
True, having returned to the home arena, the team nevertheless came to its senses and began to earn points again. In the match with Vegas, they managed to stop the powerful pressure of the opponent and snatch victory in regular time with a difference of one puck (3:2). This time, Kochetkov stood in goal, playing much more reliably than his teammate. Also, forward Jarvis made a big contribution to the success, scoring twice. Then the club went to play on the road, where they again met serious resistance from the obvious outsider, in the person of Chicago. Carolina created a huge number of dangerous moments in the Hawks' zone, but their implementation failed. It came down to overtime, where in the end they still managed to win with a final score of 4:3. Despite the lost points, Brind'Amour charges continue to remain in third place in the Eastern Conference table, and the gap from the leader at the moment is eight points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carolina still has three players in the infirmary: Jost, Fast and Carriere.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, Carolina allows 2.8 goals per game.
This season, the Hurricanes have been playing well defensively and rarely allow their opponents to show their full attacking potential.
- On average, a team receives 6.9 penalty minutes per game.
One cannot fail to note the club disciplined play.

1.55Tip and bets
Dallas is the favorite in the upcoming match, despite its slight decline. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the team has once again started to demonstrate excellent play, having returned to the home arena, where, with the support of fans, it shows its best side and consistently earns points. Secondly, Carolina is not in the best shape and has difficulties even in matches with obvious outsiders. We believe that the stars will be able to take advantage of the Hurricanes' problems and win another victory at home.
Our prediction is Dallas' victory in the match for 1.80
Bet on total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of goals scored. Both teams are not used to sitting back in defense, but on the contrary, they are trying to show their full attacking potential. In face-to-face meetings, the teams also try to show productive hockey, so as a second bet we choose total more.
Betting Tip - total over 5.5 goals for 1.86
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Dallas, thanks to the home advantage, has every chance to create serious problems for Carolina already at the beginning of the match. It should be noted once again that with the support of fans, the stars show their best side, which means they can earn an advantage already at the end of the starting segment.
Prediction - Dallas win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.75
