Total: 6.00 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
The set-up: The 24-25-2 Winnipeg Jets will be in Dallas tonight to face the 21-20-10 Stars. Dallas will be looking to exact revenge for their worst loss of the season, when the Jets beat the Stars 8-2 in Winnipeg back on Nov.8. The two teams each currently have 52 points, four points behind third-place Nashville in the Central Division and among six teams bunched together fighting for the two wild card positions.
Winnipeg: The Jets returned from the All Star break to win 5-3 at St. Louis on Tuesday. Dallas will be Winnipeg's third stop on a four-game road trip, a trek the Jets are 2-0-0 on thus far. The Jets have won back-to-back games for the 10th time this season but have yet to put together a three-game winning streak. Patrik Laine, the No. 2 pick in the 2016 draft who shares the NHL lead in goals among rookies with No. 1 selection Auston Matthews of Toronto at 23, has two goals and two assists in three games since missing eight with a concussion. However, the goaltending situation remains unsettled as Ondrej Pavelec is 3-2-0 since his recall from Manitoba of the American Hockey League but must improve on his 3.25 goals-against average and .893 save percentage. Pavelec stopped 24 of 27 shots against the Blues on Tuesday and is expected to start in goal against Dallas.
Dallas: The Stars came out of the All-Star break with a 6-3 triumph over Toronto on Tuesday for their second straight victory and first back-to-back wins since December. Dallas is 14-7-6 at home and the Stars will be playing game five of a six-game homestand. The Stars defeated the Jets 3-2 at home on Oct. 25, but has lost twice to the Jets at MTS Centre, 4-1 on Oct. 27 and 8-2 on Nov. 8. The teams meet once more during the regular season on Feb. 14 in Winnipeg.
The pick: Playing against Central Division opponents has not worked out well so far this season for Dallas, as the Stars' division record currently sits at just 8-9-4. Meanwhile, the Jets own a 12-4-1 division record. This is an important game for both teams and the Under is a 10* play with this very high over/under number.
