Dallas Stars vs Panthers Betting Tips & Odds

Panthers Look to Improve on 53-15 Home Record Dating Back to 2020   

A quick look at the NHL injury report shows that both teams are healthy for the most part, which means that tonight’s game can be a straightforward handicap with compensating for major names being out of the line-up. The Stars, who bring the league’s second-ranked offense into Sunrise, lead the Central Division by 1-point over the Winnipeg Jets. The Panthers are in third in the Atlantic but already trail the Boston Bruins by 9-points after 16 games.

Stars Hope to Pick Up Win in Florida After OT Loss

One of the most difficult trips in hockey is the two-game swing through Florida, especially when a Hockey team was just in Philly where it hovered around 30 degrees at night, and then expected to jet down to Tampa and Sunrise, where the Stars will be greeted with temperatures in the 80’s.

It’s difficult to stay focused, especially in game two of the swing where you’ve become acclimated to warmer temperatures. Dallas dropped the Florida opener Tuesday, 5-4, in overtime, on a goal by the Lightning’s Alex Killorn, who had three points on the night. It had to be a frustrating loss because outside of giving up 38 Lightning shots, Dallas played well for the most part. With the loss, the Stars have produced just $4 of profit on a $100 wager this NHL season under new head coach Pete DeBoer.

As an underdog, Dallas has dropped 5 of 7 games (-250 units). Since 2019, the Stars are 3-8 against Florida (-474 units), including a 15 mark at the BB&T Center in that span. Since 2017, the Stars are 4-13 (-816 units) when playing in the state of Florida. Let’s continue our Stars vs Panthers betting tips preview by getting a closer look at the Panthers.

Panthers Winning but Special Teams Still a Concern

For one night, the Florida Panther’s penalty kill showed the Washington Capitals why they’re still the better organization, erasing any doubts after last season’s first-round series against the Caps. Washington was 0-5 with the man advantage while Sam Reinhart was able to take advantage of the Panther’s lone chance on the Power Play, helping the Panthers to a 5-2 home win.

Florida is 28th in power play percentage (16.1%) and 19th on the kill (77.4%) and could climb back into the division race if special teams were more of a factor. It’s incredible they’ve been able to keep their head above water this far. Looking at NHL player stats or team numbers doesn’t always tell the complete story.

Panthers are getting stronger after killing off 19 of their last 21 penalties over their last five games.

Remember, this is the first season for veteran coach Paul Maurice behind the bench and it will take time for a new system to take hold. However, if you look closely over the last few weeks, it’s apparent that the Panthers are getting stronger after killing off 19 of their last 21 penalties over their last five games. From a betting standpoint, they’re becoming more dangerous before our eyes. Let’s conclude our Stars vs Panthers betting tips by giving you our selection and some numbers to back it up.

Dallas Getting Early Money

The Florida Panthers opened as a -182 home favorite, a number that was quickly bet down to a consensus -178. Not a major move, but you know the sharps were on what appears to be a juicy plus-money spot. With the Panthers supporting an impressive 59-17 (77.63%) mark at home since 2021, it’s a difficult ask to go against Florida on home ice. No one should be crazy about laying over -175, but there are times when you have to simply take the win.

At home. the Panthers have been a -200 favorite or more 32 times (27-5) since 2019. That makes -178 appear to be a bargain. Florida is a stunning 37-8 (+645 units) when a -175 or higher at home over their last 45 games. That makes the Florida Panthers our official selection to wrap up our Stars vs. Panthers betting tip.
