Red Wings Stuck in Neutral?

Let’s jump into our Wings vs Stars betting trends preview: The Detroit Red Wings have been playing some streaky hockey this season. With victories in six of their last ten games, Coach Derek Lalonde’s club lost on Thursday night at home by a score of 5-1 against the Florida Panthers, who were in a tough scheduling spot heading into that contest.

Rookie forward Jonatan Berggren scored the lone tally for Detroit, and in 13 games, the 22-year old Swedish native has been a solid addition to this NHL team, scoring three goals and adding an assist in his last five games. Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic made 36 saves on 41 shots faced, losing his sixth game of the season.

Once a highly touted prospect with the Carolina Hurricanes two seasons ago, the 26-year old Parma, Ohio native has now lost 14 of his last 19 starts dating back to last season.

Big, Bright Stars in Dallas

Continuing our Wings vs Stars betting trends preview: The Dallas Stars have been one of the stronger teams in the Central Division and Western Conference so far this season, despite going just 6-5 over their last eleven contests.

There is a palpable buzz going on regarding top forward Jason Robertson and it’s warranted. With 23 goals and 41 points in 27 games, the 23-year old California native has been scorching hot and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.

With secondary options like veterans Joe Pavelski and Jamie Benn, and forwards Roope Hintz and Mason Marchment, this Stars squad is loaded offensively, but it starts at the top with “J.R.” in Dallas.

In goal, Jake Oettinger has the size and skill to be a top netminder in the National Hockey League for years to come, and while he did battle a brief injury earlier this season, he has still been strong between the pipes.

On Thursday, Dallas beat the Ottawa Senators by a final score of 4-3 in overtime, thanks to a game-winner by veteran Tyler Seguin, Oettinger was strong, making 28 saves on 31 shots faced to earn his tenth victory of the season. This Stars team boasts some strong value when looking at Stanley Cup Odds with the balanced attack on offense and solid goaltending that they possess.
