Both the Winnipeg Jes and the Dallas Stars are coming off back-to-back wins. The Jets have however won four straight head-to-head meetings and I really like the home team to be the team to keep the winning streak going Thursday night. This contest marks the finale of a five-game road trip for the Stars, and we can note that they're 0-3 in this particular situation over the last three seasons.

Winnipeg has played excellent D lately allowing just one goal in regulation in each of their last four games. Netminder Connor Hellebuyck will start Thursday vs. the Stars, and he's 6-0-1 with a 1.91 goals-against average and a .940 save percentage on the season.

The Jets are a solid 9-2 in their last 11 home games while the Stars are 5-21 in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

My NHL Game of the Week is a 10* play on Winnipeg Jets.
