Dallas is third in scoring, eighth in goals against, second on the power play, and 20th on the penalty kill. Jason Robertson leads the team in goals and points. The Stars are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games and averaging 4.3 goals per game. They also have a 9-1-4 road record and are one of the most complete teams in the league with an elite offense, defense, and power play. They just had a four-game winning streak come to an end, and it was the first time in four games that the offense didn’t score three goals or more. Dallas will look to get more power-play chances and win the race by three goals.

New Jersey is 12th in scoring, 17th in goals against, fifth on the power play, and seventh on the penalty kill. Jesper Bratt leads the team in assists and points. Nico Hischier and Timo Meier have been offensive catalysts, both with five goals in their last five games. The Devils have lost two games in a row and both of those games were by a score of 5-3. Both of those losses had the other team getting goals in bunches, and it was slightly too late for New Jersey to come back and get some solid momentum going. They are still one of the best teams on home ice, and they need to focus on the middle period.

Best Bet: Devils Money line

The Stars will be playing night two of back-to-backs. Dallas is one of the best road and defensive teams in the league. The Devils just got their first two home regulation losses of the season. New Jersey wants that streak to end fast, and this game should be a one-goal game, with the power play being the key to victory.
