The Stars have lost 4 of their last 5 games with those losses coming against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Vegas Golden Knights, the Ottawa Senators, and the Winnipeg Jets. They won their last game which snapped that 4 game losing streak that they were on coming into this one. They won their last game against the Calgary Flames in a game that they kept taking the lead in and then giving it back but they eventually came away with the win after overtime. Jamie Benn, Blake Comeau, Denis Gurianov, and Tyler Seguin all scored a goal in that game. Miro Heiskanen led the team in assists in that game with 3 while John Klingberg, Joe Pavelski, Alexander Radulov, Michael Raffl, and Ryan Suter all had 1 assist each in that one.

The Canucks are coming into this game with a 4-6-1 record overall and they are 1-4-0 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. The Canucks have lost 4 of their last 5 games with those 4 losses coming against the Minnesota Wild, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Edmonton Oilers, and the Nashville Predators. Their last win came against the New York Rangers in a game which ended the 3 game losing streak that they were on but they are coming into this game off of a loss in their last one. They lost their last game to the Preds 3-2 in a game that was close but the Predators were able to just edge them out in the second period and hold on. Brock Boeser and Nils Hoglander both scored 1 goal each in that game. Travis Hamonic, Bo Horvat, J. T. Miller, and Tanner Pearson all led the team with 1 assist each in that game. Hoglander led the team in shots on goal in that one with 5. Thatcher Demko was the starting goalie in that game and he allowed 3 goals on 28 shots with 25 saves and a .893 sv percentage. They have scored 27 goals this season averaging 2.5 goals scored per game and they have allowed their opponents to score 30 goals against them allowing 2.7 goals per game.

 

 

The Stars are coming into this game as slight underdogs with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams have been in a bit of a slump recently but the Canucks have been playing worse as they are losing games straight up. The Stars are coming off of a big win in Calgary in overtime that snapped a losing streak for them and they have also been fighting hard on this road trip with a loss in Winnipeg but again coming in overtime. This is the perfect spot for the Stars to get back on track here and back in the W column. The best bet here is on the Stars to win this one.

“Just a simple cross and drop. We’ve been trying to work on things for 3-on-3 overtime. Just worked out.” - Jamie Benn on the OT winning goal in their win over the Flames on Thursday night.

 

 

“They weren’t very good. It’s pretty simple. PK has to be better, the power play has to be better and our game’s going to be fine. We’ve got a couple players that probably need to play a little better. Five on five, we’ve done a lot of good things but special teams have to be better.” - Travis Green on his team’s loss to the Predators on Friday night.
