The Dallas Stars and the Winnipeg Jets meet in NHL action from the Canada Life Arena on Tuesday night.
The Dallas Stars will look to build on their current three-game win streak after a 6-2 win over Edmonton in their last game. Jason Robertson has a team-high 18 points and Roope Hintz has 16 points with Hintz logging a team-high 11 assists and Robertson posting 6 goals and 10 assists while Joe Pavelski also has 6 goals and 12 points this season. Jake Oettinger’s gone 5-1 with a 1.40 GAA and a .952 save percentage while Scott Wedgewood is 3-2-1 with a 3.06 GAA and a .908 save percentage in goal for the Stars so far this season.
The Winnipeg Jets will hope to build on back-to-back wins and wins in 5 of 6 after a 4-0 win over Chicago last time out. Josh Morrissey leads Winnipeg with 10 assists while Pierre-Luc Dubois has 10 points split between 5 goals and 5 assists and Mark Scheifele has a team-high 6 goals so far this season. Connor Hellebuyck has gone 6-2-1 with a 2.09 GAA and a .936 save percentage while David Rittich is 1-1 with a 3.07 GAA and an .885 save percentage between the pipes for Winnipeg this season.
Dallas is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 4-0 in their last 4 division games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Winnipeg is 8-1 in their last 9 home games and 5-1 in their last 6 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case to be made for the Jets at home in this game, but I’m not backing off of the Stars. This Stars team keeps finding ways to win and it’s even more impressive that they’re doing it with their backup goalie, Scott Wedgewood, who was a castoff of the Arizona Coyotes of all teams. Add in the fact that Dallas has had all of the recent success against the Jets and I think you have to side with the Stars here.
