The under is 8-0 in Stars last 8 overall. The over is 5-2 in Jets last 7 overall. The Stars are 1-8 in the last 9 meetings in Winnipeg and 5-11 in the last 16 meetings.
The Dallas Stars have yet to get their offense off the ground, and they’ve been horrible in the underdog role dating back to last season. The Winnipeg Jets are playing their best hockey of this young season, the offense is on fire, and they’ve won 11 of their last 16 meetings against the Stars. We’re not asking to lay a steep price. I’ll gladly side with the Jets at home.
