Command Analysis
Utah Hockey Club
USACurrent form
Utah is in tenth place in the West, but is gradually lagging behind the top eight teams in the conference. Andre Tourigny men have only 24 points in 24 starts and are four points behind Calgary, who occupy the last slot in the playoff zone. In November, the rookies seriously slacked off and were able to win only four times. In their last away series of games, Clayton Keller team lost in Boston (0:1), but then won a confident victory in Pittsburgh (6:1), ending their tour with a defeat to Toronto (2:3). Returning home, the rookies took two points in a meeting with Montreal (3:2, OT), but then failed to finish off Edmonton on home ice. In their last meeting, they crushed Vegas in Nevada, scoring four unanswered goals in the first 20 minutes.
Karel Vejmelka became the main goalie for the Salt Lake club due to Connor Ingram injury. The Czech goalie has saved 91.74% of the shots in his possession and has already played 12 games in the starting lineup. In general, Utah is not playing so badly in defense and has allowed ten goals in the last five games. In the last game, Jackson Stauber got his chance, and he immediately made a shutout.
Clayton Keller once again became the team leader in scoring. The forward from the USA scored 22 points (7+15) and surpassed Dylan Gunter. The Canadian has 21 points (10+11) in the goal+pass system. On average, the Salt Lake club scores only 2.88 times per game, which is not a strong result by league standards.

Sean Durzi, Connor Ingram and John Marino will not be able to take part in the upcoming fight.

Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas is in fifth place in the Western Conference standings and is six points behind the leader of the West, Minnesota. The Stars have earned 30 points in 23 starts and have several games in hand to improve their position. The club from Texas did not finish their last road trip in the best way and after a victory over Tampa (4:2), they lost in Raleigh (4:6) and Chicago (2:6). After returning to their home ice, Jamie Benn team left no chance for Colorado (5:3), and the day before they confidently dealt with Winnipeg (3:1). The Canadians scored the first goal of the match, but the Stars were able to quickly recoup and put the squeeze on the Fighters in the third 20 minutes of the match.
Peter DeBoer men have taken the role of the most reliable team in the West. On average, the visitors concede 2.61 goals per game, while they do not play as well on the road as they do at home. The club main goalie Jake Oettinger has found good form and has stopped 91.39% of shots this season. However, in 17 matches, the goalie has only made one shutout.
Matt Duchene has taken the lead in points scored on the team. The Canadian forward has 27 points (12+15) in the goal+pass system and is one of the 30 best forwards in the league. Next comes the young and talented Mitch Marchment with 24 points (10+14).

Utah hasn't won at home in the second period in four straight games.
1.35Bet 3rd period: Stars will score
Dallas has scored in the third period on the road in six games.
1.37Tip and bets
Utah caught Vegas by surprise and played probably the best game in their short history to date. Andre Tourigny men took advantage of Ilya Samsonov poor form, who was not replaced after a failure at the start. Dallas recovered from two unpleasant away defeats and easily dealt with one of the conference leaders at home. After such a victory, the newcomers are unlikely to recover in terms of emotions. We do not believe that the hosts will be able to beat the Stars. We offer a bet on the victory of the guests in the match.
Our prediction is Dallas' victory in the match for 1.70
Bet on individual total
Utah is scoring just 2.88 goals per game this season and rarely boasts a strong offensive game on home ice. Dallas is not as good on the road defensively, but it won’t be a difficult task for the team from Texas to contain the rookies’ offense. The teams have not yet met each other, but that doesn’t mean the Stars don’t know the opponent’s leaders.
Forecast - Utah individual total under three goals for 1.65
Bet on total
We believe that the teams will try to take a closer look at each other and will not rush into attack with all their might in the first period. Dallas is generally difficult to call a productive team, and Utah rarely scores in large quantities even at home. In the five previous games in Salt Lake, more than six goals were scored only once. Let play a bet on the total under goals.
Forecast - total under six goals for 1.90
