Anaheim Ducks vs. Dallas Stars Betting Preview
Anaheim Ducks
The Anaheim Ducks standings show that they are one of the worst NHL teams in the league this season, and looking at the stats tells the whole story. The NHL player stats for Trevor Zegras are pretty impressive, but the rest of the team has really been struggling.
Zegras leads the team with 18 goals and 42 points on the year, but this team is scoring just 2.44 goals per night. On the other end of the ice, the Ducks are allowing over four goals per game, and that’s going to be a big problem in this matchup.
Anaheim has been dealing with plenty of injuries this season as well, but they just aren’t a team that has enough talent to win games with any consistency. The Ducks have beaten the Stars once this season, but don’t expect them to put up much of a fight in Dallas.
Dallas Stars
The NHL injury report for the Dallas Stars looks pretty clear heading into the second half of the season, and that should allow them to go on a big run. Dallas comes into this matchup scoring 3.3 goals per game, and they are also holding opponents to just 2.5 goals per night.
The Stars ended the first half of the season by losing three straight games, but the All-Star Break couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. There are some impressive Dallas Stars player stats to look at, especially on the offensive side of things.
Jason Robertson is having a huge season for the Stars as he leads the way with 33 goals and 66 points on the year. Dallas hasn’t been a team that is great on offense in the last few years, but Robertson has turned things around in a big way.
Veteran Jake Oettinger has been good enough in the blue paint for the Stars to allow this team to control the puck on defense.
Anaheim Ducks vs. Dallas Stars Betting Picks
Looking at the NHL schedule today, this looks like one of the better games to bet on. There are so many different ways to make Ducks vs Stars picks, but sticking to the over/under and puck line is the way to go. This isn’t going to be one of those NHL matchups that has surprising results as it’s pretty clear that the Stars are going to dominate.
Bet the Dallas Stars -1.5 as they cruise to a big win, and you also want to take under six goals, as there just won’t be much offense from Anaheim. The NHL stats for the Ducks haven’t been impressive this season, and this is going to be another bad loss.
