Jets vs Stars Prediction

In this Jets vs Stars Prediction, the Stars are coming as -170 home favorites. Both teams have been in very good form lately, as the Stars are 7-3 in their last 10 games and are 5-2 in their last 7 games at home, while the Jets have four consecutive wins but are 1-4 in their last 5 road games. Both offenses have been red-hot lately, as the Jets have scored 19 total goals in their last four games and both teams are 11-3 to the over in their last 14 games combined. I don’t trust the Jets’ penalty kill and goaltending, so I expect some goals in this one. Take the over 6 goals.

The Stars are 8-1 in their last 9 meetings against the Jets and have won their last six meetings in Dallas. Under is 5-3 in their last 8 meetings.
