Dallas Stars vs Anaheim Ducks Betting Preview

Stars going for Fourth Consecutive Win

Dallas’ three-game winning streak, albeit with two wins against the lowly Sharks, was much needed following a poor stretch of play from the Central Division leaders. The Stars were 1-3-3 in their last seven games before their current winning streak. Their already potent offense received an immediate boost from the call-up of Stankoven. Dallas is now T2nd in goals per game (3.58) and 13th in shots (31.2). They have the ninth-best power-play in the league at 23.1 percent.

The Dallas Stars also added defenseman Chris Tanev last week in a trade with the Calgary Flames. They’re 14th in goals allowed (3.03) and ninth in shots (29.6). Oettinger is having a down season and has allowed 14 goals in his last four NHL matchups. Moreover, he has three games with a sub.820 save percentage in his last six starts.

Tyler Seguin and Evgeny Dadonov are on the NHL injury report for the Stars.

Ducks Alternating Wins and Losses

Anaheim started the season poorly but has been fairly average through the last month or so, mostly alternating wins and losses. They’re 5-4-1 in their last 10 games with wins over the New Jersey Devils, Sharks, and Buffalo Sabres.

The Anaheim Ducks are just 10-21-1 on home ice this season and rank 29th in goals (2.63) an T26th in goals allowed (33.2). They have the sixth-worst penalty-kill in the league (75.8 percent), which could be a major issue against the Stars’ ninth-ranked PP. Frank Vatrano leads the Ducks in NHL player stats with 49 points (29 goals, 20 assists).

Leo Carlsson, Mason McTavish, Trevor Zegras, Troy Terry, and Brock McGinn are on the NHL injury report for the Ducks.
