The Stars Can Win If…

Dallas fell to 8-4-0 after a 4-2 loss to the Panthers. The total was set at 6.5 goals, and the combined score of 6 fell just short. Dallas, as the underdog on the puck line, didn’t cover.

The Panthers scored first, and Dallas responded with two goals in the second period to tie it up. However, Florida added two more in the third, including an empty-netter, to secure the win.

Dallas took 25 shots on goal but only managed to score twice in their 4-2 loss to Florida. Evgenii Dadonov netted his second goal of the season on a power play, while Matt Duchene added his seventh goal. Duchene also picked up his eighth assist on Dadonov’s goal.

The Stars were held scoreless in the first period before finding the net twice in the second. Wyatt Johnston earned his fifth assist on Dadonov’s goal, while Miro Heiskanen picked up his fourth assist on Duchene’s goal. Thomas Harley also contributed with his fifth assist of the season.

The Stars’ defense allowed the first two goals of the game, including one at 8:47 into the 2nd period. After tying it at 2-2, they conceded again just 2:32 into the 3rd period and an empty-netter at the 19:00 mark. Casey DeSmith made 21 saves with a save percentage of 87.5%.

  • Through their last three regular season contests, Dallas has a record of 1-2. Their record vs the puck line sits at 1-2 in these matchups, while posting a 1-2 over-under mark.

The Jets Can Win If…

With a 7-4 win over the Lightning, the Jets improved to 13-1-0 this season. Winnipeg covered the puck line as -1.5 goal favorites, and the total of 11 goals easily surpassed the pre-game line of 6.5 goals.

After falling behind 2-0 early, the Jets responded with goals from seven different players. They took the lead for good at 4:03 in the third period, eventually adding two empty-net goals to seal the victory.

Winnipeg’s offense fired 34 shots on goal and found the net 7 times in their 7-4 win over Tampa Bay. The Jets had two empty-net goals, with Nikolaj Ehlers scoring his 9th of the season and Cole Perfetti adding his 4th. Earlier, Alex Iafallo netted his first goal of the year, while Dylan Samberg picked up his 3rd.

Vladislav Namestnikov got things going for the Jets in the first period, scoring his 3rd goal of the season. Mark Scheifele added his 8th goal and later earned his 10th assist on Ehlers’ empty-netter. Josh Morrissey also contributed with two assists, bringing his season total to 13.

Defensively, the Jets will look to improve after allowing 4 goals to the Lightning. Connor Hellebuyck posted a save percentage of 86.7% on 30 shots. The Jets’ defense also registered 5 takeaways and 31 hits. The first goal they allowed came just 6:49 into the first period, and they gave up another at the 6:51 mark of the third, which tied the game at 4-4.

  • Through their last three games, the Jets have a record of 3-0. Against the spread, the team is 2-1 in these same games while going 1-2 on the over/under.
  • Across Winnipeg’s last ten regular season games, their record sits at 9-1. Across these games, their puck line record was just 6-4, while posting an over-under record of 7-3.

The Lean

If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Jets to take down the Stars at home. With the moneyline currently at -112, I’m placing my bet on the Jets straight-up.

My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Stars to cover. Even if the Jets win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Stars should cover the puck line.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 6 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.

Daily NHL Predictions

Jets Aim to Set NHL Record in High-Stakes Matchup with Dallas Stars

The Winnipeg Jets are on the brink of making NHL history as they host the Dallas Stars on Saturday afternoon. With 13 wins out of their first 14 games, the Jets are closing in on a milestone that only the 2007-08 Ottawa Senators have achieved. A victory against Dallas would give Winnipeg the best start in NHL history, a feat that would underscore their status as one of the league’s strongest teams this season.

But as they prepare for this high-stakes game, the Jets know they need to perform more consistently than they did in their recent 1-0 win over the Colorado Avalanche. Head coach Scott Arniel praised his team’s effort in the early stages of that game but acknowledged they lost momentum in later periods.

“We got two points,” said Arniel. “We’re not very happy about it. We had a good first period, and after that, we were downhill. Those guys all know that. I didn’t have to say much.”

Connor Hellebuyck: Leading the Charge with Elite Goaltending

Key to the Jets’ extraordinary start has been the stellar performance of their goalie, Connor Hellebuyck. The two-time Vezina Trophy winner has been in remarkable form, with a league-leading save percentage (.932), goals-against average (1.91), and three shutouts for goalies who have played over five games. Hellebuyck’s recent back-to-back shutouts mean he hasn’t allowed a goal in over 133 minutes of play.

Reflecting on his performance, Hellebuyck shared insights into his strategy, emphasizing the importance of finding rhythm and balancing rest.

“Once you get your rhythm, things just start to click. That’s why I like to play a lot,” he explained. “The only thing you have to look for is maintenance, making sure you’re not overdoing it between games.”

His consistency has made him a cornerstone of the Jets’ defense, boosting both the team’s confidence and their reputation as a top contender in the league.

Dallas Stars Prepare for the Challenge

The Stars face a formidable task in their first meeting of the season with the Jets, who have quickly established themselves as one of the league’s premier offensive and defensive teams. Dallas head coach Pete DeBoer emphasized the significance of the game, not only for morale but also for its implications in the Central Division standings.

“Those are the games you play for. We’ve obviously got something to prove,” DeBoer stated after the Stars’ recent 3-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks. “Anytime you go against a team that’s ahead of you in the standings, it’s a four-point swing. So, we know the gravity of the game.”

The Stars will look to test themselves against Winnipeg’s top-tier defense and look to stymie the Jets’ high-powered offense, knowing the Jets have won most of their games with relentless play at both ends of the ice.

Stars’ Strong Record Against Winnipeg

Despite Winnipeg’s current hot streak, the Stars have had the upper hand in their recent matchups, winning three of their four meetings last season. Dallas goaltender Jake Oettinger, who has played well against the Jets, expressed confidence in his team’s ability to rise to the occasion.

“They’re obviously off to a great start. It’ll be good to see where we’re at against those guys,” Oettinger remarked. “We’ve had success against them the last few years, so we should be confident going up there.”

Oettinger’s positive outlook is grounded in the Stars’ past success and experience against Winnipeg, which will likely contribute to a thrilling, closely contested game.

Injury Concerns for the Stars

Dallas forward Mason Marchment, who missed the Stars’ last game against Chicago with an undisclosed injury, may or may not return for the game in Winnipeg. Marchment’s absence would be a potential setback for Dallas, as they look to match the Jets in intensity and scoring depth.

A Clash of Titans for Central Division Supremacy

With the Jets seeking to make history and the Stars aiming to reassert their dominance, Saturday’s game has all the ingredients for an intense, playoff-caliber showdown. Both teams have clear motivations: for Winnipeg, it’s about cementing a record-breaking season start; for Dallas, it’s about proving they can hold their own against the league’s best.

The matchup promises to showcase elite goaltending, strategic play, and an electric atmosphere as Winnipeg fans come out in force to witness history in the making.
