Nashville Predators - Dallas Stars: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Nashville's winning streak, unfortunately for its fans, did not last long. After heavy victories in duels with the Islanders (7:6) and Utah (4:3), the team went to visit Vegas, where they again showed a very weak defensive game, allowing the opponent to create and realize a huge number of dangerous moments at their gates. The Predators tried their best to compensate for this disadvantage through active actions in attack and even managed to equalize the score at the beginning of the third period. However, just two minutes before the final whistle, the Golden Knights took the lead again, which eventually led to a 3-5 defeat. Goalkeeper Annuen failed his task, deflecting only 85% of the shots.

Returning to their home arena, the Predators played even worse, suffering a 3-7 defeat by Utah. Constant defensive failures allowed the opponent to realize his attacking potential to the fullest. This time the goal was defended by goalkeeper Saros, who deflected only 80% of the shots. Indeed, throughout the regular season, the club is experiencing serious problems in defense and is having a hard time earning points, which is why it has long lost all chances of reaching the playoffs.

Disqualifications and injuries

Lauzon and Wilsbee remain in the infirmary. Englund is also in question.

Current form

Few people could have expected that at the very end of the regular season, Dallas would begin such a protracted recession. The team has been unable to achieve success for six consecutive matches, and most of them ended in regular time. There were excellent chances of success in only two matches with Minnesota and Vancouver, but both ended in failures in overtime and shootout, respectively. After that, the Stars were unable to give a decent rebuff to the current leader of the Western Conference, suffering a dry defeat (0-4).

It seemed that they could at least cope with the obvious outsiders, but they did not cope with Utah (3:5) and Detroit (4:6) in the same way. As you can see, one of the main problems of the club remains a very weak defensive game, and it is not possible to rehabilitate due to the attacking line. Even despite the huge number of points lost, the club is still clinging to the third place in the Western Conference table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Haiskanen and Seguin remain in the infirmary. Also in question are Lindell, Marshment and Harley.

Interesting betting trends

• On average, Dallas scores 3.4 goals per game.
• The Stars completed 23% of the majority attempts
