The Dallas Stars are heading to Calgary after their win on Tuesday to the Winnipeg Jets with a final score of 2-0. This is the first shutout victory for the Stars this season. Dallas has been playing amazing defensively with a goals against average this season of 2.80 which places them ninth overall in the NHL. Their defense has also been strong on the penalty kill as they rank third in the league in penalty kill percentage at 88.6%.

Jake Oettinger has a record of 9-4-2 this season in net for the Stars. Oettinger is posting a save percentage of .916 and a goals against average of 2.53. Much of the success this season for the Stars has come from Jake Oettinger's performances in net. As long as Oettinger stays healthy we should see more wins for Dallas.

Best Bets

The Dallas Stars have been scoring a lot this season but they also are managing to keep their opponents from scoring. Dallas is 4-6 on the road this season why trying to cover the over. I do not think Calgary will score as they did back in Dallas and the Stars will play a might tighter game than last Friday.
