Command Analysis

Dallas Stars

Current form
After a seven-game winning streak, Dallas faced a series of setbacks. Despite all their efforts, the team was unable to overcome the slump and began alternating losses with rare victories. The next match against Toronto became an opportunity for them to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. The team demonstrated a confident game and won with a score of 4:1. In this match, forwards Stankoven and Duchene showed outstanding performance, scoring three goals and giving three assists. Goalkeeper Oettinger, who stopped 96% of the shots, became a key player for the team. However, despite the successful performance, the return to the home arena did not bring the expected result. In the next match against Montreal, the team again faced problems in attack. Despite an abundance of moments, the team was unable to realize any of them. As a result, Dallas lost with a score of 1:3, and out of 33 shots, only one hit the target.
The away game against Colorado was another disappointment for Dallas. The team showed serious problems in defense and lost with a crushing score of 3:6. Goalie DeSmith, who reflected only 83% of the shots, was unable to cope with the onslaught of the opponent. Returning to the home arena, the team was able to partially regain the lost points in the match against Detroit, winning confidently (4:1). Goalie Oettinger, who reflected 97% of the shots, played a key role in the success of his team. However, the club was again unable to continue to perform in the same spirit. They had to fight an opponent of their level in the person of Carolina and suffer a defeat (1:2). Unexpectedly, serious problems arose both in creating and in implementing moments in attack, and in just three periods they managed to make 23 shots on the Hurricanes' goal. True, the lost points did not affect the team’s position in any way, and it continues to remain in fifth place, with 59 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas' infirmary remains unchanged. The team continues to play without Marchment and Seguin.
Interesting trends for betting

- On average, stars receive 6.7 penalty minutes per game.

Vegas Golden Knights

Current form
Vegas had been in great shape for a long time, but now there has been a decline that continues to this day. The home series ended, which turned out to be unsuccessful: in three games, the team won only one victory over Minnesota with a score of 4:1. This success was possible thanks to the brilliant play of the defensemen, who allowed the opponent to make only 16 shots in three periods. Then the Knights went on an away tour, where their opponent was Nashville. The match ended in a defeat with a score of 3:5. The key moment was the unsuccessful performance of goalkeeper Samsonov, who missed three goals. However, it is worth noting the excellent play of Dorofeev, who scored a hat trick. This moment could have given the club a chance for a comeback, if not for the large number of goals missed. The Knights' next opponent was Carolina, but the team was unable to fully realize its attacking potential and suffered a defeat with a score of 2:3. Despite the fact that the Golden Knights created many dangerous moments in the opponent zone, their execution left much to be desired.
The match with Chicago also did not bring the expected result. Despite the status of a clear underdog, Vegas lost with a score of 3:5. Once again, goalkeeper Samsonov failed to cope with his duties, reflecting only 78% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the team was very close to breaking the losing streak and finally achieving the desired result, but suffered an offensive defeat from St. Louis in a shootout (4:5). What is especially noteworthy is that the team tied the score just 30 seconds before the final whistle. But in the return match with the Blues, they managed to take revenge, confidently winning in regulation time with a difference of two goals (4:2), thereby breaking their losing streak. They managed to achieve success due to the excellent play of the attacking line. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, since many distinguished themselves with effective actions. Even despite the decline, the club continues to remain in second place in the Western Conference standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vegas has no problems with the roster. Only Lehner and Schwindt are in the infirmary. Hounden is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Vegas averages 3.4 goals per game
The Golden Knights have been playing great offensively this season.
- On average, the Knights receive 5.5 penalty minutes per match.
The team also has excellent discipline, which allows it to remain at full strength throughout almost the entire match.

2.39Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, bookmakers single out Dallas as the favorite, for which there are reasons. The team has started to show a decent game and was almost able to beat an opponent of its level, in the person of Carolina. Indeed, at home, the stars look much better and have almost never lost this season. Vegas, in turn, continues to lose points from match to match and is unlikely to be able to interrupt its losing streak on the road. So we suggest betting in favor of the home team.
