The Dallas Stars (10‑4‑3) will take on the Montreal Canadiens (10‑4‑2) on Thursday night in the NHL. With both clubs off to strong starts and with playoff aspirations in mind, this evening’s matchup at the Bell Centre in Montréal will be one of the best in the NHL on the night. Here, I've broken down the latest trends and player performances to deliver you my Stars vs Canadiens prediction.
Montreal enters this encounter with excellent recent form. In their last 10 games, they are 6‑2‑2, averaging 3.7 goals per game while allowing 3.2 goals against. But they have lost three of their last four games and will try to get a win at home tonight. Dallas has ridden a 7‑1‑2 run in their last 10 games, averaging 2.9 goals for and 2.5 goals against over that stretch. Both of these teams have performed well overall lately and that should make for an exciting game here.
The Canadiens’ goaltending situation should revolve around Jakub Dobes (6‑0‑1, 2.25 GAA, .920 SV%) in this game. Dobes has been better than Sam Montembeault for the Habs and will try to get them another win here. Dallas’ tandem of Jake Oettinger (7‑3‑2, 2.89 GAA, .896 SV%) and Carter DeSmith (3‑1‑1, 2.73 GAA, .897 SV%) has been solid. Oettinger should start in this matchup for Dallas here.
The Stars are led on the attack by Mikko Rantanen, who has 23 total points and is averaging over a point per game. Wyatt Johnson is also a key player for Dallas, leading the team with 10 goals so far this season. Montreal's Nick Suzuki leads his team with 20 points (4 goals, 16 assists) and has been the catalyst of their offense. Also worth watching is Cole Caufield, who leads Montréal with 12 goals going into this game.
Player | Prop to Target |
|---|---|
Jason Robertson (DAL) | Over 0.5 points |
Nick Suzuki (MTL) | Over 0.5 assists |
Cole Caufield (MTL) | Over 0.5 goals |
Score Projection: Montreal Canadiens 3 – Dallas Stars 2
Win Probability: Montreal Canadiens 55%, Dallas Stars 45%
This is going to be a closely contested game from Canada. But I'm going with the Habs to get the win on their home ice. The Canadiens have not lost a game in regulation this season with Dobes in net. He will face a tough test against a strong group of Stars skaters, but I'll take the Habs to get the job done nonetheless.
