In this article we will formulate a Stars vs Jets prediction for this NHL game on Thursday, October 9th at the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this NHL matchup.

Dallas Stars Betting Preview

The Dallas Stars went 50-26-6 last year and they finished with 106 points, which was second in  the Central Division and third in the Western Conference. Dallas was one of the top teams in the NHL all season, but ran into some unfortunate injuries heading into the playoffs. The Stars opened the season by winning seven of their first nine games, including a 4-3 win over Nashville in their opener. Dallas did struggle to end the regular season, as they lost seven games in a row and allowed at least four goals in six of those games. The Stars did beat Colorado in seven games and Winnipeg in six games, before losing to Edmonton in five games to end the season. Last year, Dallas scored 275 goals, which was ranked 3rd in the NHL, while they allowed 222 goals against, which was ranked 6th. 

In the preseason, Dallas went 5-1 overall and won each of their last two. The Stars got wins over St. Louis (twice), Minnesota (twice), and Colorado, but did lose to the Avalanche in their fourth game. The Stars were an elite team last season and nearly made the Stanley Cup Finals, but had some trouble scoring goals in that series with the Oilers. Dallas is led by Rantanen, Johnston, Robertson, and Heiskanen, while they have Oettinger and DeSmith in net. 

Winnipeg Jets Betting Preview

The Winnipeg Jets were 56-22-4 last season and they finished with 116 points, which was first in the Central Division, first in the Western Conference, and first in the NHL. Winnipeg was the best team in the regular season, but had plenty of issues in the postseason, especially with their goaltending. Winnipeg started last year by winning 15 of their first 16 games, including a 6-0 win over Edmonton in their opener. The Jets also finished the year strong by winning eight of their last eleven regular season games. Winnipeg narrowly got by St. Louis in seven games, but lost to Dallas in six games to end the campaign. Last year, the Jets scored 275 goals, which was ranked 3rd in the NHL, while they allowed 190 goals against, which was ranked 1st. 

In the preseason, Winnipeg went just 2-4 overall, but did win two of their last three games. The Jets got wins against Calgary (twice), but lost to Edmonton (twice) and Minnesota (twice). Winnipeg is expected to be very good once again this season, but can they play better in the playoffs? The Jets are led by Connor, Scheifele, Nyquist, and Morrissey, while they have Hellebuyck and Comrie as their top goalie options.

Stars vs Jets Prediction 

Both of these teams had very good regular seasons last year and they met in the postseason, so we should be in for a great rivalry game here. Winnipeg is dealing with some injuries right now, but they were elite on home ice last season. Dallas also has some injuries coming into the season and I think this is a tough spot for them. Winnipeg is going to be inspired to get revenge for last year and I can’t go against them at home. Take the Jets here.
