New Jersey — Dallas: NHL match forecast
As part of the NHL regular season, a meeting between New Jersey and Dallas will take place on February 23. After a long break, the Devils probably want to please the fans with new victories. However, the "sheriffs" clearly do not intend to give points and will try to keep the bar high. By the way, the clubs have not met yet this season, so it will be doubly interesting to watch their match. What kind of bet should I place on the event? You will learn about this from our forecast
Command Analysis
New Jersey Devils
USACurrent form
New Jersey is currently in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and has 68 points to its credit. The team can feel extremely comfortable, but you still shouldn't relax too much, because the density of competition is very high. Recall that for most of the season, the Devils stayed in the top three, but after that they began to show not particularly successful results and alternated successful fights with defeats. As of today, they are literally three points away from third place.
Recall that before the break, the Devils lost on the road to Buffalo (3:4), then dealt with Pittsburgh (3:2B) in a hard fight, and after a home defeat to Vegas (1:3) they regained their composure and proved their superiority over Montreal." with the score 4-0 away. We emphasize that the club often faced problems in creating and implementing chances and remained with less than three abandoned goals. Nevertheless, he adheres to a closed style of play, so he is definitely not immune from such bad days.
By the way, Sheldon Keogh's team is most powerful in the second half of the game, in which it has a 70:43 ratio of dropped and missed goals. Do not forget that the team has a great numerical advantage and now has 27.5% of excess sales, occupying the fourth position in the championship according to this indicator.

Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas has been showing strong results throughout the season and is currently in second place in the Western Conference. The team is separated from the leading Winnipeg by nine points, so it will definitely not be able to claim the first position in the near future. However, she strives for this and not so long ago issued a long winning streak. Plus, the club, as a rule, has never lost more than two matches in a row this year.
Before that, the Sheriffs defeated Columbus (5:3) on their ice, and after unsuccessful away matches against Anaheim (1:2) and Los Angeles (4:5 B), they had a great match against San Jose and won Victoria with a score of 8:3, so we went for a break in a good mood. In general, in previous meetings, Peter Deboer's squad made good use of their moments, thanks to which they scored no less than three or four goals. At the same time, the club is by no means the most productive in its conference.
On the road, by the way, the game of the "stars" does not stick as well as on their own ice, since they managed to win only 12 victories during the regular season. But Dallas plays powerfully on defense and stands out especially in the minority. So, now the team has 85% neutralization of the majority of the opponent and occupies the leading position in the league by this indicator.

2.60Tip and bets
In our opinion, Dallas can claim success in the upcoming confrontation. Of course, it's hard to imagine in what form the teams will return from a long break, but earlier throughout the season, the Sheriffs looked preferable to their counterparts. New Jersey often has serious difficulties in meetings with leaders and does not cope with them, especially during the main time. Plus, most of the previous matches between the clubs ended in favor of the stars. Based on this, we suggest betting on the success of the guests with a head start.
Prediction - Dallas wins with a handicap (0) in 1.90
Betting on an individual total
New Jersey often had problems creating and executing chances in previous matches and remained with fewer than three goals scored. Dallas has been playing well defensively throughout the season and concedes quite a bit in matches against similar opponents. By the way, in the last three out of four meetings against the Devils, the guests also managed with two or fewer goals conceded.
We're betting on New Jersey's individual total of less than three goals in 1.62
Bet on the total total
In this confrontation, we would not expect a large number of abandoned goals. Dallas adheres to a fairly closed style, and New Jersey plays defensively and tries to make as many mistakes as possible in its own zone. It is no coincidence that four out of five matches involving the home team turned out to be "grassroots" and took place with fewer than six goals scored. We think that this time we can count on such a total.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.95
