Command Analysis
Anaheim Ducks
USACurrent form
Anaheim is still unlikely to be able to seriously qualify for the playoffs this season, since even now it is located in the 12th position of the Western Conference and is seven points behind the top eight. Of course, it is quite possible to recoup such a gap, but for this it is necessary to demonstrate fairly stable results. By the way, the team has been successful in four out of five previous matches and is currently experiencing one of its best stretches of the current season.
The Ducks had previously played well on their ice against Pittsburgh (5:1), Nashville (5:2), but after a successful match against Seattle (6:4), they still lost to Calgary with a score of 1:4. Fortunately, in the final confrontation with Montreal on their ice, they regained their composure and proved their superiority over their opponent with a score of 3:2. Strangely enough, in many cases the club was distinguished by a reliable defensive game and remained with no more than two goals conceded, and in response almost always scored three times. It is noteworthy that Greg Cronin's team remains the most ineffective in their conference and usually has difficulty implementing the points.
A curious fact is that Anaheim, with the fewest goals, spends the second period when the game is played on the far benches. So, in this twenty-minute game, the team has a 35:41 ratio of dropped and missed goals and very rarely scores itself. In addition, the club is experiencing incredible problems with the majority of the game and currently has only 12.5% of excess sales.
Disqualifications and injuries
McGinn, Suhanek, McTavish and Terry will not be able to participate in the upcoming match.

- Anaheim gets an average of 8.31 minutes of penalty time per game.

- Anaheim allows an average of 32 shots on its own goal.
The Ducks often play second best and allow their opponents too much in their own zone.
Dallas Stars
USACurrent form
Dallas is in the second position of the Western Conference and remains one of the leaders for most of the season. The team has 69 points to its credit, but in the near future it still cannot claim the first place, from which it is separated by eight points. As a rule, the club does not have a long series of defeats this season and is used to staying in a long successful series of fights, only occasionally allowing itself to be beaten.
By the way, in January, the "stars" were not going through a particularly successful period and often lost points, but now they were able to get into good condition and celebrated success in five of the previous six meetings. They lost to Carolina on their ice (1:2), but after that they dealt with Vegas (4:3), St. Louis (2:0), and in the confrontation with the same Knights on the road they defeated Victoria with a score of 4:3 in overtime.. Returning to their ice, the Sheriffs did not relax and first proved their superiority over Vancouver (5:3) and subsequently beat Columbus with a score of 5:3.
In most of the past cases, Peter Deboer's squad has shown great performance and, as a rule, scored at least three or four goals, taking advantage of their chances. By the way, today the club remains one of the best in the league in terms of playing in the minority and has 84.2% neutralization of the majority of the opponent, ranking third in this indicator. Dallas usually has a good third period of play, in which it has a 57:44 ratio of dropped and missed goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Seguin, Heiskanen, Burke and Lundqvist will not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Dallas gets an average of 6.35 minutes of penalty time per match.
Dallas has been well disciplined this season and is usually eliminated no more than three times per game.
- According to statistics, the sheriffs can make 26 shots on their own goal.
Dallas manages to cover most of the shots on its own goal

2.05Tip and bets
In our opinion, Dallas can claim two points in this confrontation. The Sheriffs probably remember the last match against Anaheim, in which they lost 2-6, so they will certainly try to rehabilitate themselves and give their best. Moreover, at the moment the guests are in great shape and are on a long winning streak. It's no secret that this season the Stars outperform their rivals in class and usually even deal with similar teams on the road during regular time. Based on this, we suggest betting on a clean win for Dallas.
Prediction - Dallas wins in 1.75
Betting on an individual total
Anaheim remains the most ineffective club in the Western Conference today and usually has problems with the implementation of chances. Only recently has the team been playing well offensively, but it is far from certain that it will be able to show the same game against Dallas, which operates decently in its own zone and allows few dangerous moments in its possession. By the way, in the three previous meetings out of five, the Sheriffs did not allow the Ducks to score three times.
We're betting on Anaheim's individual total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.65
Bet on the total total
"Dallas" in this confrontation will try to get a victory in the class and will not take unnecessary risks. Anaheim will have to adapt to its opponent and also play defensively. Matches involving both the Ducks and the Sheriffs this season often turn out to be "grassroots" and take place with fewer than six goals scored. It is likely that this time we will witness ineffective hockey.
We take a total of less than 5.5 pucks for 2.00
