Dallas made a decent start but have been inconsistent off late. They currently lead the Western Conference Central with 30 points and will look to keep that lead intact.

Ducks vs Stars Key Stats
Anaheim's offense has been disappointing this season and it has affected their gameplay. Troy Terry and Trevor Zegras have been great with over 44 goal involvements in between them, but have lacked support from the other players. They will look to address this issue in future games
Their defense is one of the poorest in the league and has conceded over four goals per game this season. They need to strengthen their defensive unit a lot to have favorable returns going forward.
Dallas' offense is one of the best in the league in scoring terms with over 88 goals in 23 games. Multiple players have contributed to its success with Jason Robertson leading from the front with 19 goals to his name. The offense will be the key for them in upcoming challenges.
Their defense has played to the best of their capability, conceding just 2.71 goals per game on average this season, which means they are one of the best defenses in the league.
Ducks vs Stars Betting Prediction
Anaheim's poor form puts them at a disadvantage in this matchup and their gameplay has been poor overall with no joy in offense and defense. Playing away from home is likely to put them in further discomfort with a loss in front of the eyes.
Dallas have played better and are likely to cause problems with their offensive gameplay. They have a better defensive unit which will provide them with extra support enough to win this game with ease.
Prediction: Take, Dallas, -1.5(-115)
