Dallas - Pittsburgh: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Dallas has been in great shape for a long time and has not lost for seven consecutive matches. The team had an away series in which they won absolutely all the matches in regular time, most of them with a difference of more than one goal. Minor difficulties arose only in the duel with Edmonton, in which the defensive line did not play reliably enough and allowed the competitor to create and realize too many dangerous chances at his own goal. Despite this, they still managed to snatch Victoria with a score of 4:3.

Returning to the home arena, the Stars fought a clear outsider in the person of Nashville and left him no chance, defeating with a score of 5:1. It is difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. Thanks to such successful performances, the club is already approaching the leader of the Western Conference, which is only four points behind.

Disqualifications and injuries

Dallas still has three players in the infirmary: Heiskanen, Lundqvist and Seguin.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Dallas scores 3.4 goals per game.

Current form

Pittsburgh's recession has dragged on once again. The team could not achieve success for three consecutive matches, and in two of them they suffered crushing defeats from Tampa Bay (1-6) and Buffalo (3-7). The defensive line showed itself to be the worst twice, and goalkeepers Jarry and Nedelkovic failed to cope with their main task. Returning to the home arena, the team was still able to interrupt this series of failures, snatching a heavy victory from Ottawa in overtime (1-0). This time, Jarry rehabilitated himself in front of the fans, deflecting 31 shots, which allowed him to succeed.

However, the team failed to consolidate its success away from St. Louis. Once again, there were problems in defense, which almost led to a defeat in regular time. The Penguins equalized in the last seconds of the game, but still lost in overtime (4:5). It is worth noting that the chances of reaching the playoffs still remain, but given the fierce competition, it is hard to believe in such an outcome.

Disqualifications and injuries

Malkin, Imama, Josev, Novak and Blomqvist will not play in the upcoming meeting due to injuries.
