Prediction
Stars 3, Jets 2
BET DALLAS -115.
While Dallas has been on a skid recently, they will bounce back on Tuesday night. The Stars showed their frustrations after a disappointing loss to Calgary to end their home-stand at just 2-2-1 and will be ready to get back in the win column. Dallas is 7-1-1 on the road this season.
PASS.
There are better odds on the moneyline in a game that should remain close and be decided by a narrow margin.
BET UNDER 6 (-120).
While both teams have top-10 scoring offenses, expect a battle of the goaltenders on Tuesday. Both goalies are finding their form with each game and the Jets’ defense ranks top-5 in shots against. These teams are evenly matched and will present tough matchups on both ends of the ice.
