In this article, we will formulate a Stars vs Ducks prediction for this NHL game on Tuesday, March 18 at American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.

Anaheim Ducks Betting Preview

The Anaheim Ducks (29-31-7, 46-21 ATS) have not played well recently; they lost eight of the previous 12 games, including five of the last seven. The latest defeat came to the St. Louis Blues and it was a disappointing display as Anaheim allowed seven goals in a 7-2 loss. The Ducks are 6th in the Pacific Division Standings with 65 points, two more than the Kraken and 21 behind the leaders Golden Knights.



The Ducks score 2.68 goals per game on average (29th), while they concede 3.12 GPG (21st). This season, Troy Terry leads the team with 49 points (18 G and 31 A). Frank Vatrano has 41 points (20 G and 21 A), while Mason McTavish chips in with 40 points (18 G and 22 A).

Lukas Dostal (20-18-5) is expected to start for the Ducks at the goal on Tuesday against the Stars. The 24-year-old is allowing 2.94 goals per game this year with a .908 SV% and one shutout.

Dallas Stars Betting Preview

The Dallas Stars (42-21-3, 31-35 ATS) went through a good period early in March when they secured four straight wins over the Kings, Blues, Devils, and Flames. All four of those wins came during a home stand, but the Stars then went on a four-game road trip on which they suffered three defeats to the Oilers, Jets, and Avalanche. The Stars are 2nd in the Central Division Standings with 11 points behind the top-placed Jets.

The Stars average 3.38 goals per game this year (4th), while they allow 2.62 GPG (5th). Matt Duchene leads the team with 67 points (26 G and 41 A). Jason Robertson contributes 67 points (29 G and 38 A), while Wyatt Johnston has 61 points (24 G and 37 A).

Jake Oettinger (30-15-3) will likely take his place in the cage for the Stars on Tuesday against the Ducks. The 26-year-old is allowing 2.55 goals per game this year with a .907 SV% and one shutout.

Stars vs Ducks Prediction

The Stars won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including four of the last six, but the Ducks were surprisingly in both H2Hs this season. Anaheim won 4-2 at Dallas and 2-1 at home, but I am backing the Stars here to repay the Ducks for those defeats and secure an easy win. The Stars are one of the best home teams in the NHL (24-7-1) and are on a seven-game winning run at home, while the Ducks lost five of the previous six on the road, including the last three. I am going with the Stars to win and cover a puck line.
