The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets have looked great in their games this season with their 45-17-4 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have looked great on home ice too with their 24-5-4 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Stars have looked really good in their games this season with their 42-20-2 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the West and in a playoff spot. They have been a good road team too with their 18-13-1 road record, but they haven't been at their best on the road. The Stars are coming off a win over the Canucks in their last one and they have been the hotter team lately as they are 8-2-0 in their last 10 games. They have also been off since Monday so they have a lot of rest on their side, but too much rest could also be a problem against a team like the Jets. The Jets haven't been as hot lately, going 6-3-1 in their last 10 games, but they still have the best record in the West and are coming off a win over the Rangers in their last one. Both of these teams can score goals and both have great defenses, but the Jets have the bigger advantage with their goaltending and should be able to edge the Stars out at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to win this game.

“It was a good response game for us. Back-to-back with obviously no Roope Hintz after last night, I thought we came in and played the type of road game we needed to. We defended hard, we took care of the puck, we were opportunistic when we needed to be. It was a pretty solid road effort.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s win against the Canucks in their game on Sunday.

"That was a hard-fought game. We knew how desperate the Rangers were going to be. We certainly saw that. That was, at times, a little bit of a track meet going both ways. Both specialty teams had to step up and it was a good game. Good goaltending. Came out the right side of it.” - Scott Arniel after his team’s win against the Rangers in their game on Tuesday.
