Dallas vs Nashville Prediction and Betting Tips for the NHL Match

Current form

Dallas had an away series, which in the end turned out to be not the most successful, although it started with a victory. In the first match, the team met with a clear underdog in the person of Utah and with difficulty won over the former Arizona in regular time with a difference of only one goal (2:1). They managed to achieve success mainly due to the efforts of goalie DeSmith, who reflected 36 shots out of 37. Many expected that the Stars would continue to earn points, but on the road to Los Angeles, there were problems in defense, and this time they could not compensate for them through effective actions in the attack, and in the end they had to lose with a score of 2:3. In exactly the same way, DeBoer charges could not cope with a more powerful competitor in the person of Vegas (2:3).

Returning to their home arena, the "stars" completely rehabilitated themselves before the fans, leaving no chance for "Calgary" and crushing the opponent with a score of 6:2. The entire attack line showed an excellent game, it is difficult to even single out any of the players, since almost all distinguished themselves with effective actions. Despite the lost points in away matches, the club continues to remain in fifth place in the Western Conference table, having 34 points.

Current form

Nashville decline has been going on for a very long time, and the latest losing streak has reached eight games. What is especially noteworthy is that almost all the games ended in regulation time, and they managed to put up a decent fight and take the game into overtime only in the games with Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Minnesota, losing all of them with a score of 2:3. There were not many crushing defeats, the team was unable to give a worthy rebuff only to New Jersey (2:5) and Montreal (0:3). After a dry defeat to the Canadiens, Brunette charges went to visit Ottawa, where they also had huge problems both with creating and implementing moments in attack, which ultimately led to another failure (1:3).

Returning to the home arena, the club met with far from the most serious opponent of the league in the person of Calgary and was able to impose a decent fight, however, due to the terrible game in defense, they had to suffer a defeat in regulation time with a difference of one goal (3:4). Goalkeeper Saros did not show his best, reflecting only 85% of shots. It seems that everything is going to the fact that for Nashville this season will be one of the most unsuccessful in the club entire career if it continues to play in the same spirit. In the meantime, the team occupies the last line in the Western Conference table, having only 20 points.

Disqualifications and injuries

It worth noting that Nashville has roster issues. Currier, Lauzon and O'Reilly are in the infirmary, while Josi and Nyqvist are questionable.

Interesting trends for betting
