The Dallas Stars and the Florida Panthers meet in NHL action from the BB&T Center this Thursday.
The Dallas Stars will look to build on their 3-0 win over the Panthers last time out. Joe Pavelski leads the Stars in scoring with 19 points coming on 9 goals and 10 assists from John Klingberg. Alex Radulov and Denis Gurianov each have 11 points with Radulov logging 3 goals with 8 assists while Gurianov has 4 goals and 7 helpers on the year. Anthon Khydobin continues to start the majority of Dallas’ games, going 4-4 with a pair of shutouts and a 2.35 GAA whilw John Oettinger has a 2-2 record with a 2.31 GAA on the year.
The Florida Panthers will try to bounce back from their lost to Dallas last rimw up. Jonathan Huberdeau leads Florida with 23 points including 7 goals and 16 assists while Aleksander Barkov has 7 goals and 12 assists for his 19 points. Patric Hornqvist has a team-high 8 goals with 7 assists for 15 points while Keith Yandle and Carter Verhaghe each have 13 points. Aaron Ekblad has 11 points on 6 goals and 5 assists and Anthony Duclair has 2 goals and 8 helpers for his 10 points. Chris Driedger and Sergei Bobrovsky continue to share time in goal for Florida, with Dreidger going 7-2 with a 2.18 GAA while Bobrovsky has a 5-3 mark with a 3.18 GAA this year.
Dallas is 1-6 in their last 7 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 road games while the under is 5-1-4 in their last 10 games as a road underdog. Florida is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall and 1-7 in their last 8 Thursday games while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games playing on no rest.
The Stars got a nice win there, but the issue is that the Stars have struggled with consistency for a little while not and one win on the road doesn’t build the confidence back up. The Panthers have still be rock solid to start the year and this is a cheap price all things considered, so I'll lay it and play it with Florida here.
