LiontipsDallas vs Los Angeles. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (October 23, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Dallas Stars played five games away from home, starting in the preseason. The Stars managed to win only twice, both times with great difficulty. First, they won against the Rangers in overtime (3:2 OT), and then prevailed over Pittsburgh in the penalty shootout (2:1 P). Goalie Holtby looked great in those two fixtures.
In the regular season, the Stars were defeated by Boston (1:3) and Ottawa (2:3). Now the Stars return to their home court, where they have an excellent chance to bounce back.
The Los Angeles Kings got off to a great start with a crushing 6:2 win against Vegas. Forward Kopitar had an excellent game, having given two assists and scored a hat-trick. The Kings failed to build on that success and lost at home to Minnesota in the following game (2:3).
After that, the Kings traveled to Nashville, where they suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of the Predators (1:2). Goaltender Peterson can't be blamed for the defeat: he was solid and saved 29 out of 31 shots.
