The Coach's NHL SURE SHOT
(NHL) Dallas vs. Winnipeg,
Money Line: -137.00 Winnipeg (Home)
Result: Win
Money Line: -137.00 Winnipeg (Home)
Result: Win
The Winnipeg Jets and the Dallas Stars are both making a furious push for the post-season, but things are starting to look pretty dim for the Stars. Dallas was on the wrong end of a wild game against Detroit on Saturday, losing by a score of 7-6 in overtime. They followed that up with a 6-2 loss to the Wild on Sunday, and playing their third game in four night's here in Winnipeg looks like a tough spot to say the least.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Goaltending - The Stars have surrendered 18 goals while losing their last three games. Both Jhonas Enroth and Kari Lehtonen are to blame. Enroth has been lit up for 10 goals in his last two starts, while Lehtonen has also conceded double figures in his last two appearances.
2. Fatigue - Playing on one day's rest has not been a favorable spot for the Stars recently, as they've lost in four of their last five such situations.
3. X-Factor - Dallas is without leading scorer Tyler Seguin who was injured in a win over Florida back on February 13. The Stars have lost four of five since.
Selection: This is a play on the Winnipeg Jets (8*)
