The Winnipeg Jets stake their five-game win streak as they visit the Detroit Red Wings, losers of three straight. Of course, the NHL odds favor the former though not too significantly. Winnipeg is 10-7-1 on the road, with its last five games all going under. Overall, the Jets' improved defense, combined with elite goaltending, has made them stingy…

Jason Robertson has impressed at nearly every stop this season and with his top-line teammate Roope Hintz potentially unavailable for tonight's tilt with the Islanders, our NHL betting picks expect another him to pick up the slack - goals or not. The division-leading Dallas Stars head to UBS Arena tonight to take on the New York Islanders with NHL…

The Florida Panthers hit the official halfway mark of their 2022-23 season today when they visit the Dallas Stars at 3:30 p.m. Florida comes into the day six points back of the New York Islanders for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

It's not too often a player 21 games into the first season of a three-year contract extension becomes a virtual lock to be traded. But here we are with right winger Brock Boeser and the Vancouver Canucks. It's natural to view last weekend's drama as a catalyst and the reason why Boeser and agent Ben Hankinson have been granted permission by the…

The Minnesota Wild will make a quick turnaround and head to Texas to face off against the Dallas Stars in a battle between the former and current Minneapolis teams.

There are three games tonight that could decide the series or they could be sent to a game 7. Quick Links Chris Kreider Over 2.5 Shots The Rangers need their star…

Just like that, Montreal Canadiens forward Michael Pezzetta went from hero to goat (in the derogatory sense). Scoring against the hosting Dallas Stars on Dec. 23, Pezzetta put the the Habs up 2-0 in the second period with a shot that had the Reseau des sports telecast comparing him to Cole Caufield. However, Pezzetta was also in the box for an…

The Edmonton Oilers will travel south to face the Dallas Stars. Two of the league's top players (Connor McDavid and Jason Robertson) will go head-to-head in this exciting matchup. In addition, both of these teams are in playoff spots. The Oilers are in the second Wild Card spot with 36 points. However, they could move up to one or two spots with a…

Discussions about awards usually begin with the definition of honor being twisted into a pretzel. The Hart Trophy arguably leads in this regard, with people often convoluting'best' with'most valuable.' The NHL's definition aids in the interpretation, stating that the Hart Trophy is "an annual award given to the player adjudged to be the most…

Minnesota Wild vs Dallas Stars 12/4/2022 Picks Predictions Previews The Minnesota Wild will meet with the Dallas Stars in NHL action in American Airlines Center, TX, on Sunday, December 4, 2022, at 3:00 PM ET.

Mike Modano was 28 when the Stars won the Stanley Cup in 1999. Same with Sergei Zubov. Derian Hatcher and Darryl Sydor were 26. Jere Lehtinen and Richard Matvichuk were 25. Jamie Langenbrunner was 23. Now, Bob Gainey complemented that group with some outstanding veterans - future Hall-of-Famers - and that pushed them over the top in their quest to…

Remember Martin Vagner? Ivan Vishnevskiy? How about Scott Glennie, the eighth overall pick in 2009? Or pre-Toronto Jack Campbell, the first goalie taken in 2011? Or maybe pre-Cup champion Valeri Nichushkin? Those are just a few of Dallas' first-round picks from the 21st century that didn't work out. In fact, from 2000-2010, Steve Ott (848 games),…

There are six teams that were in the Stanley Cup playoffs last year - Florida, Washington and the New York Rangers in the East, and Calgary, Minnesota and Nashville in the West- who wouldn't be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Luckily for them, the season doesn't end after the first two months. But it does raise a couple of questions:…

The Philadelphia Flyers are heading into one of their most significant seasons in a long time. If everything goes the way they want it to, we'll potentially see a lengthy stretch of postseason contention, if not, well, everything will be terrible. So why not commit some of your hard-earned dollars to this team and its players? It might just pay off…

Since winning a high scoring game on Saturday the Edmonton Oilers head on a 3 game road trip starting in Dallas. The Dallas Stars are having a mediocre season so far. The Stars are 29th in goals for with 42 and 18th in goals against with 50. The Stars play a style of game where they get a large amount of high danger chances and they don't give up…

For this week's edition of Around the Stars universe (apparently it has become a weekly thing at this point) I've decided to cover two very different question marks regarding the Dallas Stars. The first one is seemingly more important, as it directly affects the on-ice performance of a single player. The second one is mostly fun. So let's get right…

The coaching changes seem to agree with the Vegas Golden Knights and Boston Bruins. Bruce Cassidy's current and former teams lead the way in the list of the best teams in the NHL at the current time. Vegas has won seven games in a row while the Bruins lead the NHL with a+21 goal differential. It has been a different story for slumping Pittsburgh…

The Calgary Flames lost their third straight game on home ice and both the fans and the head coach are concerned. Meanwhile, the Montreal Canadiens are shuffling things around but will be forced to make a deal of some sort soon. Could the Flames pounce on something there? NHL legend Jaromir Jagr offered an entertaining response to the salute. That,…

The Montreal Canadiens have turned up the heat on trade talks, most notably with the Washington Capitals. The Canadiens putting Evgenii Dadonov on IR is just buying them time.

In the end, fourth-line goals and top-line heroics didn't matter for the Pittsburgh Penguins as they gift-wrapped a game they should have won and delivered it to the Boston Bruins. Big-name teams across the league are sputtering, from the Penguins to the Washington Capitals, St. Louis Blues, and Toronto Maple Leafs, to name a few. And surprises are…

In what is now an established tradition, it is time for my annual bold predictions for the upcoming Dallas Stars season. Three years ago, I failed spectacularly. The next season was better, in that I either did or didn't succeed on one of my predictions (depending on how you feel about technicalities). But last year, there was no doubt - I hit a…

The NHL regular season is underway and let's face it, it's never too early to talk about awards.

After a whirlwind…

I'm not sure any player has as much to prove this year than Philipp Grubauer. The Seattle Kraken netminder is coming off a nightmare campaign, where he posted a career-worst.889 save percentage. At first glance, it would be easy to pin Grubauer's struggles on playing for an expansion team, but the Kraken actually ranked strongly in a number of…

The Winnipeg Jets look to bounce back this season following a turmoil-filled 2021-22. Last season's mess culminated in Paul Maurice stepping down as coach and Blake Wheeler losing his captaincy.

This past Sunday's game against the Buffalo Sabres marked Thomas Harley's fifteenth NHL career game. It was a game that saw the Dallas Stars rookie notch his first career assist and point, getting a rather large monkey off his back: "It's been coming for the past couple games," Harley said. "You grow up dreaming it's going to be a little more…

The Dallas Stars dropped to 1-2-0 in their preseason record after a 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild on home ice. On the plus side, the fans in attendance tonight saw actual goals scored, unlike in the first preseason game where they got blanked. They're still evaluating the roster and instilling their systems. But there's a few things we can take…

New Stars defenseman Nils Lundkvist is ready to put last year behind him.

The Dallas Stars have acquired prospect defenseman Nils Lundkvist from the New York Rangers in exchange for a first-round draft pick in 2023 and a fourth-round draft pick.
