The Dallas Stars and the Florida Panthers meet in NHL action from the BB&T Center on Friday night.

The Dallas Stars will look to build on their 5-2 win over the Seattle Kraken in their last game. Joe Pavelski leads the Stars in scoring with 35 points including a team-high 15 goals and 20 assists while Jason Robertson has 32 points with 13 goals and 19 assists and Roope Hintz has 26 points with 14 goals of his own. Miro Heiskanen also has 22 points with 18 assists. Braden Holtby’s posted a 6-8-1 record with a 2.56 GAA and a .920 save percentage while Jake Oettinger is 9-2 with a 2.20 GAA and a .923 save percentage this season.

The Florida Panthers will try to build on their 5-2 win over Vancouver last time out. Jonathan Huberdeau leads the Panthers in scoring with 47 points including a team-high 34 assists while Aaron Ekblad has 32 points with 10 goals and 22 assists as well as a team-best +23 plus/minus rating this season. Carter Verhaeghe has 28 points and Sam Reinhart has 29 points as well with Verhaeghe logging 10 goals and 18 assists of his own and Reinhart logging 11 goals and 18 apples. Anthony Duclair has 14 goals and Aleksander Barkov has a team-high 15 goals as well so far this season. Sergei Bobrovsky’s gone 17-3-3 with a 2.55 GAA and a .919 save percentage between the pipes for Florida while Spencer Knight is 7-4-2 with a 3.39 GAA and an .896 save percentage.

Dallas is 0-4 in their last 4 games as a road underdog and 6-0 in their last 6 games against the Eastern Conference while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 Friday games. Florida is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall and 44-12 in their last 56 games as a home favorite while the over is 7-0 in their last 7 games overall.

I get the case to be made either way as Dallas is playing well and Florida plays their best hockey at home. Instead, I’m going to side with the over here as I envision this being a game with potential double-digit goals or at least 8 or 9. Give me the over.
