The Dallas Stars continue to impress their fans with excellent results. Despite a recent loss to Columbus (4:6), where the team struggled defensively, the Stars bounced back in their home games. A standout performance came against the Kings (6:4), where the team showcased its offensive power, and a solid defense in a win over the Blues (6:3), despite some minor issues creating dangerous chances.
Notably, goalie Jake Oettinger, after a poor performance against Columbus, became the hero once again, stopping 39 out of 42 shots in the latest game, which helped Dallas secure the victory. Overall, the Stars remain one of the most stable and dangerous teams in the West, with one of the best goalkeepers and a strong offensive line.

The New Jersey Devils have been showing very inconsistent results this season. The team alternates between impressive victories and disappointing losses. After a home loss to Dallas (2:4), the Devils easily defeated Nashville (5:0), with goalie Mackenzie Blackwood delivering a masterful shutout. However, on the road, the team struggled — losing to Colorado (1:5) and Vegas (0:2), with issues in both offense and defense.
Despite this, the Devils remain in the playoff zone, but if they continue to perform inconsistently, they could soon find themselves outside of the main playoff race.
Strengths of the team:
Key players:
Injuries and suspensions:
Both teams approach this game in different forms. Dallas looks much more stable and confident, especially in home games, where they have shown excellent results both offensively and defensively. New Jersey, despite their offensive potential, can’t boast the same consistency, particularly on the road, and continue to struggle with defensive issues.
Considering the current form of both teams, as well as some injuries to key players for New Jersey, Dallas is likely to come out on top. It’s unlikely the Devils will be able to pose serious resistance, especially considering their recent struggles on the road.
Expected result:
Dallas to win with a likely score of 4:2 or 5:3. There will be plenty of goals in the game, but the Stars will manage to secure an important victory on home ice.
Dallas enters the upcoming match as the clear favorite, and there are several reasons for this. Firstly, the team is in exceptional form, allowing them to dominate almost all of their opponents. Secondly, the Stars will be playing on home ice, where, with the support of their fans, they have an even greater chance of success. New Jersey, with their inconsistency, is unlikely to achieve victory against such a strong opponent. We recommend playing it safe and placing a confident bet on the home team at an excellent odds.
Our prediction – Dallas to win at 2.03.
