Command Analysis

Dallas Stars

Current form
Dallas' slump has already dragged on, and the losing streak has reached four games in a row. The series of failures began at the home arena, where they could not contain the pressure of Pittsburgh, having suffered a defeat with a score of 3:5. Next, the team went to visit Minnesota, where they were one step away from victory, but still lost in overtime (2:3). There were problems in defense again, which Wilde took advantage of, creating constant pressure on his competitor. Returning to their home arena, Deboer's team fought Vancouver and were just one step away from success, but conceded three goals just a minute before the final whistle, and then failed in overtime (5:6). Goalkeeper Desmith showed a terrible game, deflecting only 81% of shots.
Continuing to perform at their venue, the team met with the current leader of the Western Conference, Winnipeg. This time, Dallas didn't score a single goal at all, losing dry (0-4). It is worth noting that even despite the large number of points lost, the club remains on the second line in the Western Conference table, although the advantage over its closest competitor has been reduced to one point.
Disqualifications and injuries
Haiskanen, Lundqvist and Seguin remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Dallas scores 3.4 goals per game.
- The Stars completed 23% of the majority attempts

Utah Hockey Club

Current form
Utah began to show decent results at the very end of the regular season, steadily earning points. In six matches, the team suffered only two defeats, and only one in regular time from Los Angeles (2:4). The team quickly recovered from this setback, first defeating Winnipeg (4:1), and then defeating Seattle with a score of 7:1. Not only the attacking line, but also the defense showed a great game, and by the end of the second period they managed to score six unanswered goals. The most productive players were Gunter and Sergachev, who scored three points each.
Continuing to perform at home, the former Arizona met with Nashville and, unfortunately for the fans, broke their winning streak, suffering an insulting defeat in a shootout (3:4). The team leveled the score with great difficulty in the third period, but failed to achieve another success. It is worth noting that the club has long lost all chances of reaching the playoffs and is just finishing the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Igraham, O'Brian and Vyalimyaki will not be able to play due to injuries. Marino is also questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- On average, Utah concedes three goals per match.
- The team receives an average of 9.5 penalty minutes per match.

1.62Tip and bets
Even despite his apparent decline, Dallas is a clear favorite in the upcoming match, for which there are reasons. Firstly, the Stars will once again play in their home arena, where they are at their best with the support of the fans and very rarely lose points this season. Secondly, the Stars are still superior to Utah in all respects and have won all head-to-head matches due to this. We believe that this meeting will not be an exception, betting in favor of the owners of the ice.
Our prediction is that Dallas will win in 1.75
Bet on the total
Also, in the upcoming match, it is quite possible to expect a large number of abandoned goals. Dallas has not been able to boast of a reliable defensive game lately, and it will have to compensate for this disadvantage at the expense of the offensive line. There is no point in Utah holing up on defense, so as a second bet, we suggest choosing a total more.
Betting Tip – total more than 5.5 goals in 1.84
Betting on the outcome of the first period
Dallas, with the support of the home stands and due to its powerful superiority over Utah, should create serious pressure on the opponent from the very start and seize the advantage at the end of the first period, which is what we propose to bet on.
Prediction – Dallas wins in the first period with a handicap (0) in 1.50
