The New Jersey Devils and Dallas Stars meet Saturday in NHL action at the American Airlines Center. The New Jersey Devils look to snap a five-game losing streak. The Dallas Stars look for a win after winning seven of their last 10 games.

The New Jersey Devils are averaging 3 goals per game and are scoring on 17.4 percent of their power play opportunities. Jack Hughes leads New Jersey with 26 goals, Jesper Bratt has 44 assists and Dougie Hamilton has 164 shots on goal. Defensively, the New Jersey Devils are allowing 3.7 goals per game and are killing 80.2 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Nico Daws has allowed 60 goals on 542 shots faced, and Mackenzie Blackwood has allowed 70 goals on 663 shots.

The Dallas Stars are averaging 2.9 goals per game and are scoring on 21.8 percent of their power play opportunities. Jason Robertson leads Dallas with 32 goals, Joe Pavelski has 44 assists and Roope Hintz has 181 shots on goal. Defensively, the Dallas Stars are allowing 3 goals per game and are killing 78.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Braden Holtby has allowed 61 goals on 700 shots faced, and Jake Oettinger has allowed 93 goals on 1,101 shots.

The Devils are 14-39 in their last 53 road games and 17-42 in their last 59 overall. The Stars are 21-8 in their last 29 home games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The over is 4-1 in Devils last 5 overall. The under is 5-2 in Stars last 7 overall. The Devils are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Dallas and 0-4 in the last 4 meetings.

The New Jersey Devils continue to be fade material, especially on the road and in the underdog role. I want nothing to do with the Devils. The Dallas Stars are a team I’ve been backing for a while now due to the soft lines oddsmakers throw out and this is a spot to just take the PL for max betting value. The Devils have thrown in the towel and can’t keep the puck out of the net. Give me the Stars.
