Stars vs Jets Prediction
The Stars eliminated the Jets in the Western Conference semifinals last season with 4-2 wins, but both teams are 5-5 in their last 10 meetings. The Jets are 4-1 in their last 5 home meetings against the Stars, and under is 9-1 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Stars vs Jets Prediction, the Stars are coming as -115 road favorites. This is a clash between two of the best teams of the Western Conference last season, and their recent meetings are perfectly balanced, so I will not take a side in this matchup. Both teams have elite goaltending, with both goalies having a combined 4.55 GAA last season, and both defenses being elite as well, allowing 5.05 goals per game combined. All but one of their last 10 meetings has gone under the total and I expect another low-scoring grind again today. Take the under 5.5 goals.
