Mammoth vs Stars Betting Preview
Dallas carries momentum home after a four-game road trip that ended with a 3-2 win in Seattle. The Stars extended their point streak to four games and their road point streak to 10. Their form holds steady. Their structure remains strong. Their scoring spreads across all lines. They are 8-1-1 in their last 10 and remain one of the most consistent teams in the conference.
Jason Robertson continues driving the attack. His seven-game goal streak stopped in Seattle, but he still owns 14 goals and 31 points in 24 games. His nine-game surge before Wednesday highlighted his finishing and pace. Vladislav Kolyachonok scored the game-winner in Seattle. Roope Hintz and Esa Lindell also contributed. Dallas’ roster remains balanced at every position.
Jake Oettinger is expected to start. He holds a 10-4-2 record with a 2.74 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
Utah starts a demanding six-game, nine-day road trip. They finished their homestand with a 4-3 loss to Montreal. Their penalty kill, normally a strength, allowed two goals on three attempts. Their structure held at even strength, but special teams broke their momentum.
Logan Cooley added another assist. His pace continues to rise. He owns 13 goals and remains their leading scorer. Sean Durzi returned to the blue line after missing 21 games and logged more than 21 minutes. His mobility and puck movement help stabilize their back end.
