Stars Flashing On and Off
The Dallas Stars have been a rollercoaster team in the Central Division, and it continued this past week with the club losing two of their last three games. Starting with Wednesday night’s 5-4 loss over the Florida Panthers, and then coming back from a 3-1 deficit a night later to beat the Washington Capitals 5-4 in a shootout and then back home on Saturday, where the Vegas Golden Knights, a team that had been going through offensive struggles of late, busted out a hung an eight-spot on goaltender Jake Oettinger and company en route to an 8-1 matinee loss.
The Stars have dropped out of first place in the NHL Central Division, behind the Colorado Avalanche by a single point. The Stars have been solid moneymakers with the first-period overs, cashing in six straight games and with an overall record of 18-5 in 23 games, that has been a hot NHL Betting trend to back as of late.
Motor City Motivation?
The Detroit Red Wings are looking towards a boost in offense with their new acquisition in free agency with Patrick Kane. The long-time Chicago Blackhawks legend who used to torment Detroit has now signed a one-year deal with the former rivals, mainly to play alongside former teammate Alex DeBrincat, whom he shared a tight bond with when the duo were teammates lighting the lamp on a nightly basis at the United Center. Now they look to do their battle at Little Caesars Arena, where the Wings have played decent hockey of late, but for this contest, they head on the road, where Detroit has won three of their last four games.
They will be without the services of Captain Dylan Larkin, who is out with a concussion suffered by an unfortunate collision in Saturday’s 5-1 loss at Ottawa, as well as forward David Perron, who will be in New York for an in-person hearing with the National Hockey League Player Safety Department after a retaliatory hit on the Senators’ Artem Zub was delivered with intent to injure towards the head and neck area. Zub wasn’t even involved with the Larkin hit, and with an in-person hearing, those suspensions usually carry a game hit of at least five contests.
