The Stars are entering this game with 14 points, a 6-3-2 record overall, and they are 3-1-1 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their last game, losing that one on the road 2-1 in overtime. Adam Erne scored 1 goal for them in that one. Alexander Petrovic and Radek Faksa each led the team in assists with 1 while Jason Robertson led the team in shots on net in that game with 6.

Their offense has scored 30 goals this season averaging 2.7 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 32 goals against them allowing 2.9 goals per game.

The Panthers are entering this game with 11 points, a 5-5-1 record overall, and they are 4-1-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the Anaheim Ducks in their last game, losing that one at home 3-2 in a shootout. Anton Lundell and Sam Reinhart each scored 1 goal for them in that one.

The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Panthers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 5-5-1 record overall which has them right near the bottom of their division in the East. They are the defending Stanley Cup champions though and as much as they have struggled to start the year, they have still looked great on home ice with their 4-1-1 home record. Meanwhile, the Stars have looked good in their games this season with their 6-3-2 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the West. They have been a good road team too with their 3-1-1 road record. They haven't looked great lately though after getting off to a hot start this season. They are off a 2-1 road loss to the Lightning in their last one and their offense has been an issue now, giving up more goals this season than they have scored. The Panthers are also off a loss in their last one, losing to the Ducks at home in a shootout 3-2, but they will be looking to bounce back on home ice where they have looked much better this season, and they have extra rest on their side. The Panthers have also been giving up more goals than they have been scoring this year, but they have looked like a different team at home and they have the edge against a Stars team with the same issue that has been up and down lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to win this game.

"We had our chances, you know, a 5-on-3 to get something out of it but we didn't. We've talked at length about just trying to muck out points and grind out points and put ourselves in position to get two. We would've loved to get two tonight. It was tight that way, but we wanted two." - Glen Gulutzan after his team’s loss against the Lightning in their game on Thursday.

“Give a team with skill a chance 5-on-3 and, chances are, they are going to score on those.” - Paul Maurice after his team’s loss against the Ducks in their game on Tuesday.
