Key Storylines
- Recent Form: The Stars have won three of their first four games. That includes a 5-4 shootout victory over the Colorado Avalanche, where Mikko Rantanen scored the game-winner against his former team. The Blues have split their first four games. Their most recent win was a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks, highlighted by rookie Jimmy Snuggerud's two goals. But both teams lost their most recent games, with Dallas losing to the Vancouver Canucks and the Blues losing to the Chicago Blackhawks.
- Goaltending: Jake Oettinger has been stellar for Dallas. He has a 3-0 record and a 3.24 GAA. The Blues' Jordan Binnington has a 1-1 record with a 3.63 GAA. Both of these netminders have high-level experience and will try to use that to their advantage to get a win at the expense of the other tonight.
- Key Skaters: Rantanen leads the Stars with six points on the season. Roope Hintz has been the top assist man for the Stars with five and he will try to set up his teammates to put the puck past Binnington. The Blues' Jake Neighbours has five points in four games to lead St. Louis.

Final Thoughts
This game could go either way as far as I'm concerned. As a result, I think there is some value in backing the Blues as a home dog. Dallas is allowing nearly 33 shots per game to their opponents and I expect Oettinger to be under seige throughout this contest, which will help St. Louis get the win.
