Why The Stars Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Stars are one of the best scoring teams in the NHL. They average 3.58 goals per game, which is second-best in the NHL. They have been able to score at a high rate, and they have put up 14 goals in their last three games. When the Stars score at least four goals this season, they are 28-3-1. It is not easy to score four goals, but they have been able to do it often. If the Stars can put up another four-goal game, they will win.

The Ducks, on the other hand, have allowed the seventh-most goals per game this season. The Ducks have already given up seven total goals to the Stars this season. Dallas needs to continue this scoring, and they should be able to with ease. If the Stars are able to have a good game in the offensive zone, they will win.

Why The Ducks Will Cover The Spread/Win

The Stars are right on the cusp of beating the Stars. Both games have been decided by one goal, and one game needed overtime to decide a winner. Anaheim has not been able to get over that hump, but they have covered a +1.5 spread each time. Dallas is 10-14-8 this season when they score at most three goals. The Ducks need to find a way to keep the Stars to under four goals in this one. If they can do that, they will be able to at least cover the spread.

Final Stars-Ducks Prediction & Pick

The Stars are the better team here, and it is by a long shot. Because of that, I am going to take the Stars to not only win this game but cover the spread.
