In this article, we will formulate a Stars vs Jets prediction for this NHL game on Thursday, April 10, at American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.
Winnipeg Jets Betting Preview
The Winnipeg Jets (53-21-4, 40-38 ATS) returned home from a three-game road trip on which they lost to the Kings and Hockey Club while they beat the Golden Knights. The Jets defeated the Blues in Winnipeg to move to 110 points. They are still at the top of the Western Conference, four ahead of the Stars, and with a win here, the Jets would secure the No. 1 seed.
The Jets average 3.38 goals per game this year (4th), while they allow 2.32 GPG (1st). Kyle Connor leads the team with 92 points (38G and 54 A). Mark Scheifele contributes 84 points (38 G and 46 A), while Nikolaj Ehlers has 63 points (24 G and 39 A).

The Dallas Stars (50-22-6, 37-41 ATS) were in an excellent run of seven wins in late March to early April, but then lost three consecutive games to the Penguins, Wild, and Canucks, although the last two were in overtime. The Stars currently have 106 points and are 2nd in the West, with three points ahead of the Golden Knights and six more than the Avalanche.
The Stars score 3.42 goals per game on average (3rd), while they concede 2.59 GPG (3rd). This season, Matt Duchene leads the team with 81 points (30 G and 51 A). Jason Robertson has 79 points (34 G and 45 A), while Wyatt Johnston chips in with 69 points (31 G and 38 A).
Jake Oettinger (36-15-4) is expected to start for the Stars at the goal on Thursday against the Jets. The 26-year-old is allowing 2.46 goals per game this year with a .912 SV% and two shutouts.

Stars vs Jets Prediction
The teams have traded victories in the past few years, as each recorded five in the previous ten H2H encounters. This season, the Jets lead the series 2-1; they won both home games with an identical 4-1 result, while the Stars won 3-1 in Dallas. All three duels were low-scoring, and eight of the last ten H2Hs produced a maximum of five goals, so I am going with another Under in this one. After all, we have two top 3 defenses and two top 3 goaltenders in the NHL.
