Winnipeg started the season a little slow, but they have won three games in a row and have scored at least five goals in all three of those wins. Dallas snapped a small two game losing streak in their last game and they are 5-1-1 on the road this season. The Stars have been great defensively and are only allowing 2.50 goals against per game. I really like this Dallas team, but I am going to go with Winnipeg in this spot. The Jets are red hot right now and Hellebucyk can be one of the better goalies in the league. Take Winnipeg to get a nice win here.
