Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Minnesota Wild head to Dallas looking to extend a three-game winning streak in tonight's Central Division matchup.

That won't be an easy task, though, against the Stars, who have gone 10 games without a regulation loss at American Airlines Center.

Minnesota Wild vs. Dallas Stars betting picks and predictions

Minnesota Wild +1.5 (-150)

The Wild have had a rough time since the break for the 4 Nations Faceoff, but they have built some confidence with three convincing wins in their last three games.

Rounding off a seven-game home stand, they beat the LA Kings 3-1, shutout the Seattle Kraken 4-0 and saw off the Buffalo Sabres 4-1, and that should put them in the right frame of mind for this trip.

Minnesota are still missing top forward Kirill Kaprizov, but as the scorelines suggests, their recent success has been based on a solid defense, and they will look to continue that against Dallas.

The Stars' last four games have all gone to overtime, and they beat Philadelphia just nine seconds into the extra stanza last time out having blown a 2-0 first-period lead.  

The pair's two previous meetings this season both came before the turn of the year, with the Stars winning 2-1 in November before the Wild earned a 3-2 OT triumph after Christmas, and this clash could be similarly close.

Under 5.5 goals (-115)

Low-scoring games have been a feature for both these teams recently and that looks likely to continue tonight.

The Total for this game has been set at 5.5, but it is still worth playing the under.

Only two of the Wild's last 10 games has featured more than five regulation-time goals, while five of the Stars' last eight games also stayed under that total.

The Stars are still trying to build chemistry among their forward group, which was shuffled by the arrival of Mikko Rantanen just before the trade deadline. 

And with Minnesota doing so well defensively it could be hard for the Stars to put more than a couple on the board.  They have scored two or fewer regulation-time goals in three of their last five games.

Jason Robertson anytime goalscorer (+160)

Dallas's Jason Robertson has already matched last season's tally of 29 goals, and he can break the 30 barrier for the third time in his career when the Stars take on the Wild tonight.

Robertson has been held off the scoresheet in his last three games, but that is his longest goalless streak since early February.

In his 13 career games against Minnesota, Robertson has scored 10 goals as well as contributing seven assists.

Robertson provided the centering feed for Thomas Harley's OT winner against the Flyers in their last game to make it 17 points in 13 games since the 4 Nations Faceoff and the consistent scorer can end his mini goal drought.
