This is going to be a great game between two of the best teams in the Central Division. The Stars look to remain in first place but the Jets have won three games in a row and look to control this game on their home ice. The Jets, who average 3.62 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with effective puck movement. The Jets should limit a Stars offense that averages only 3.00 goals per game with Josh Morrissey, Dylan DeMelo, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone and limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to make plenty of big saves. The Jets should win the game to extend their winning streak to four games with a strong performance on their home ice.

Take the Jets money line as home Favorites.

The Stars have a great defense that can easily make this game a low-scoring one. However, the Jets have been carried by their offense and both forward units look to step up and control this game from the opening puck drop. The Stars should pile on the goals against the Jets, who allow 3.31 goals per game, with Joe Pavelski, Roope Hintz, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Jets, who have scored 16 goals in their last three games, should run up the score with Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, Mason Appleton, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Josh Morrissey and Dylan DeMelo pick apart the Stars defense from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.

Take the Over on 6 goals.

Prediction: Over 6
