The Carolina Hurricanes and the Dallas Stars meet in NHL action from American Airlines Center on Tuesday night.
The Carolina Hurricanes will try to bounce back from a 4-2 loss at the hands of Washington last time out. Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov are tied for the team high with 20 points apiece, with Aho logging 10 goals and 10 assists while Svechnikov has 12 assists. Tony DeAngelo’s got 19 points with a team-high 15 assists and has a team-high +10 plus/minus rating, sharing the team best mark with Svechnikov. Frederik Andersen’s seen the bulk of the action in goal for Carolina, going 11-4 with a 1.98 GAA and a .932 save percentage this season.
The Dallas Stars will look to add to their 3-2 win over Arizona last time out. Miro Heiskanen leads the Stars in scoring with 15 points including a team-high 12 assists while Joe Pavelski has 14 points with 6 goals and 8 assists. Jason Robertson’s got 13 points with 6 goals and 8 assists while Roope Hintz has 12 points with a team-high 7 goals this season. Braden Holtby has posted a 3-4-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .920 save percentage while Anton Khudobin has gone 3-3-1 with a 3.73 GAA and an .873 save percentage as well this season.
Carolina is 9-2 in their last 11 games as a road favorite and 7-1 in their last 8 games when their opponents scores 2 or less in the previous game while the under is 2-0-2 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record. Dallas is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall and 5-0 in their last 5 home games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.
I get the case to be made for Dallas at home or for Carolina in general. However, I think I’m leaning towards the under here as I’m expecting both sides to pull out their best efforts defensively here and for this to be a first to 3 wins kind of game. Give me the under.
