Command Analysis
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas still ended its winning streak, which was a big surprise for fans. The team hosted a clear underdog in the form of Anaheim at its home arena and was unable to stop the opponent onslaught, suffering a 2:4 defeat. Goalie DeSmith showed his worst side, reflecting only 85% of the shots. The club attacking line tried its best to correct the situation, but was unable to fully realize its chances.
Before this, the Stars had not experienced any problems, which is especially evident in their two crushing victories over Boston (7:2) and Pittsburgh (7:1). Forwards Duchene and Marchment showed a great game, having scored 12 points in both games. The Stars were able to consolidate their success away to Minnesota, where they again played very reliably in defense, which allowed them to snatch a victory in regulation time with a score of 2:1. This season, Dallas has been distinguished by its very productive attack and remains one of the best clubs in the league in this parameter. Thanks to its excellent attack, the team is in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, with 22 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dallas has absolutely no problems with its roster. All players are in the lineup, and the infirmary remains empty.
Interesting trends for betting
- The Stars are averaging 3.4 goals per game.
Dallas has been playing great offensively, which is what has helped them achieve success this season.
- The Stars are allowing an average of 2.3 goals per game.
A productive attacking line is not the only distinctive feature of the club. The team also consistently copes with the pressure of opponents and rarely misses a large number of goals.
San Jose Sharks
USACurrent form
Another start of the season for San Jose turned out to be a failure, due to which the team lost a huge number of points and is currently in 14th place in the Western Conference table, having only 16 points. The Sharks were unable to solve their main problem, which has haunted the club from season to season. The team continues to show very low efficiency in attack, and the defensive line is simply not able to compensate for this deficiency.
It is worth noting that the Sharks have recently begun to give a worthy rebuff to their opponents. Although Warsofsky charges have suffered three defeats in a row, they were one step away from success in each of them. San Jose was able to cling to points in matches with Philadelphia (3:4 SO) and Pittsburgh (3:4 SO), and also imposed a fight on the clear favorite in the person of the Rangers, losing with a difference of only one goal (2:3). It seems that after successful performances, the club believed in itself, due to which it was able to interrupt a series of failures and snatched a victory from Detroit in overtime (5:4). Finally, the attacking line showed its best side, in particular, it is worth noting forward Eklund, who scored twice.
Disqualifications and injuries
San Jose continues to have serious problems with its roster. Couture, Sturm and Vlasic are all in the infirmary, and Vanecek is also questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- On average, San Jose scores 2.5 goals per game.
The Sharks have serious problems with offensive production and rarely show their full potential.
- The Sharks are averaging nine penalty minutes per game.
The team has serious problems with discipline, which leads to frequent removals.

1.50Tip and bets
Dallas is a clear favorite in the upcoming match, and bookmakers are giving very low odds for its victory. Indeed, the Stars are seriously superior to their opponent in class, but it is worth noting that just recently the Stars could not even cling to points in a match with the same outsider in the person of Anaheim, and the Stars played at home. It is also worth considering that San Jose has recovered from a long decline and has begun to consistently fight back even very powerful competitors. We believe that the Sharks will prove themselves again and, at the very least, will not lose with a rout.
Our prediction is a San Jose victory with a handicap of (+2.5) goals at 1.78
Bet on total
The upcoming match promises to be very productive, since in face-to-face meetings the clubs constantly please fans with active hockey and do not sit back in defense. It is also necessary to pay attention to the last matches of San Jose, which has begun to realize its attacking potential.
Forecast - total over 5.5 goals for 1.69
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Still, one cannot ignore the fact that Dallas is superior to San Jose and will be playing at home, where they can create very serious pressure on the Sharks from the very start, for which they may not be ready.
Prediction - Dallas win in the first period for 1.97
