Stars vs Jets Prediction
These two teams come into this matchup sitting in the top two spots of the Central Division standings, but Winnipeg will be on home ice. The Jets are 24-5-4 at home this year, while the Stars are 18-13-1 on the road. Dallas has won five of their last six games and they have scored at least four goals in four of their last five. Winnipeg is just 3-4 in their last seven games and their offense has been a problem, as they have scored two goals or fewer in five of their last seven. We have two great defensive teams in this matchup and I think goals are going to be hard to find, so I will take the under here.
