Stars Betting Trends

Under is 4-0 in Stars last 4 vs. a team with a winning record

Dallas went into Saturday night treading water in their last seven games. The Stars sought to put the bad taste of the Thursday beatdown by the Jets in the rearview mirror. Against Winnipeg, Dallas led 2-0 after the opening period. The Stars got goals from Arttu Hyry (his fifth) and Roope Hintz (his eighth) in the stanza. Meanwhile, David Perron (his first) gave Dallas a 3-2 lead midway through the second period.

The Stars gave up the final six goals from there for the loss. Jake Oettinger stopped 21 of 27 shots before getting the hook. Casey DeSmith stopped one of three shots in relief for the Stars. Dallas owned a 33-30 advantage in shots on goal in the loss.

The Stars are 5th in goals allowed by giving up an average of 2.61 goals per game this season. The Stars are 8th in the league with the man advantage as they convert 26.2% of their power play opportunities. Dallas is excellent in the penalty killing department, ranking 3rd as they successfully navigate 88.5% of their shorthanded situations.

Meanwhile, Jake Oettinger (9-4-1, 2.33 GAA, .895 save percentage, three shutouts) is the expected starter between the pipes for Dallas. If he doesn’t go, Casey DeSmith (1-2-1, 2.70 GAA, .894 save percentage) would be in net for the Stars.

Panthers vs. Stars Prediction: Stars -140

While both teams are playing the second game of a back-to-back situation here, the Stars have no travel involved. Meanwhile, the Panthers play in St. Louis Saturday and then have to fly into Dallas for this contest. After the nationwide ground stop instituted by the FAA Friday, I’m sure that the thought process that something like that could impede travel may be in the back of some players’ minds. DeSmith was slated to start for the Stars Saturday, which places Oettinger as the likely starter here.

The lack of travel helps Dallas, even with their mediocre home mark. Oettinger leads the league in shutouts to this point of the year. The Stars are the better team defensively and that may well prove to be the difference. Florida hasn’t been as explosive as one would have thought given their offensive weaponry. Look for Oettinger to back the Stars to a low-scoring, 3-2 type of victory here.
