Vancouver Canucks @ Dallas Stars Preview

The Dallas Stars (50-22-5) are looking to solidify their position as one of the top teams in the Western Conference as they host the Vancouver Canucks (35-29-13). The Stars are coming off a tough 3-2 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild but remain a dominant force at home with a 28-8-2 record. Meanwhile, the Canucks have struggled on the road recently, losing back-to-back games, including a 3-2 defeat to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Dallas boasts a strong defensive unit, allowing just 2.32 goals per game (4th in the NHL), while Vancouver has been inconsistent offensively, averaging 2.92 goals per game (16th in the NHL). The Stars have also been efficient on the penalty kill, ranking 1st in the league with an 87.8% success rate, which could neutralize Vancouver's 22.6% power play efficiency.

Pick: Dallas Stars -1.0 (-107) at BetRivers

widget-odds-nhl-ats-5610-VAN-DAL

The Dallas Stars are the superior team in this matchup, with a strong home record and a significant defensive advantage. Vancouver's recent struggles on the road and their inability to contain Dallas in previous meetings make the Stars a solid pick to cover the -1.0 spread. Additionally, Dallas' ability to limit scoring opportunities and capitalize on their offensive depth should lead to a comfortable victory.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jason Robertson Anytime Goal Scorer (+175) at ESPN BET

Jason Robertson has been a key offensive contributor for the Stars, tallying 11 points (5 goals, 6 assists) in his last 10 games. With Vancouver's defensive struggles, Robertson is well-positioned to find the back of the net in this matchup.

2. Wyatt Johnston Anytime Goal Scorer (+175) at ESPN BET

Wyatt Johnston has scored in 6 of his last 10 games and is emerging as a reliable scoring option for Dallas. His recent form and Vancouver's defensive vulnerabilities make this a value pick.

3. Over 5.5 Total Goals (-105) at ESPN BET
