The defense has provided the team with enough additional strength to win games by conceding 2.6 goals on an average per game this season. Goaltenders have played their part, and with minor changes here and there, the team can bring even better results in the future.
The Rangers have done well to score around 140 goals this season with an offensive unit consisting of players like Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider. With more players coming into the offensive scene, they look more composed and have enough options to explore for better returns.

Stars vs Rangers Betting Prediction
The Stars have performed well both offensively and defensively to bring that comfort into the game. Further, they have a great record against the Rangers, which is a plus point for them.
The Rangers, on the other hand, have had a positive run this season and playing at home, they have won more than 80 percent of their last seven games. They have greatly benefited when their opponent comes with a low-scoring last game.
As the game is well placed with both strong facing each other, the game is likely to go down to the wire, which further makes it interesting. With a strong home advantage and an overall better display, the Rangers have everything to edge past in this game for the win.
