New York Rangers vs. Dallas Stars betting picks and predictions

Dallas Stars to win (-180)

Dallas has shown some inconsistency as of late, posting a 4-4-0 record in their last eight games. However, they are still a powerhouse team and will be hungry to return to the win column.

When looking at the Rangers, things haven't been this bad in years. This team was expected to go on a deep run and even though the season isn't halfway through, hope is running out fast.

They are 3-11-0 in their last 14 games and are quickly shipping out players.

Dallas has home ice advantage where they have been impressive. They are 13-4-0 there this season and will be looking to bounce back after collapsing against the Maple Leafs in their most-recent game.

Under 6.0 Total Goals (-125)

Dallas is one of the best teams defensively, allowing 2.42 goals against per game which is the fifth-fewest in the league.

Before their most recent matchup, they were on a stretch of allowing just 16 goals in 8 games. After just giving up 5 goals to the Leafs, the entire team should be pushing hard to have a much better effort.

As for New York, they are middle of the pack in both offensive and defensive averages. Their struggles speak for themselves.

Roope Hintz anytime goalscorer (+220)

Roope Hintz has developed into a strong and consistent scorer for this Stars team. He has at least 30 goals in each of the past three seasons and looks poised to do it again.

He is tied for the team lead in goals with 13 and has scored in just two of their last eight games (three total goals).

After having just one shot in his last game, I expect him to come out flying and look to produce.
