The current betting odds have the Stars listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Stars have looked great in their games this season with their 41-14-10 record overall which has them right near 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 21-7-4 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Red Wings have looked good in their games this season with their 36-23-7 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the East. They have been a good road team too with their 18-12-4 road record this year. The Red Wings have been rolling this season, keeping themselves right near the top of their division all year, but lately they have been slipping into the Wild Card race and haven't looked great. They are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games now and they have lost 2 games in a row, coming off a 4-1 road loss to the Lightning in their last one. The Stars have also been rolling all season as they have one of the best records in the NHL, but they have also been one of the hottest teams in the league lately too. They are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games and they are off a huge 7-2 win over the Oilers in their last one. Their only loss during this hot streak was a shootout loss to the Avalanche who have the best record in the NHL, but they have been rolling again since that loss with 3 wins in a row now. The Stars are not only the much better team here, but they are also the hotter team coming into this one and they can take advantage of a Red Wings team that hasn't been at their best lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Stars to win this game.

"Nobody is feeling sorry for the Red Wings and nobody in the locker room should feel sorry. We have a job to do. First thing we have to do is recover from this loss, then we have to figure out how to plug some holes." - Todd McLellan after his team’s loss against the Lightning in their game on Thursday.

“I thought we started good and we executed really good in the beginning. It wasn't quite our normal game. You get up 3-0 and the dynamic kind of changes. I thought they had some pushes at times. The power play kept stinging [Edmonton] a little bit and they could never get traction.” - Glen Gulutzan after his team’s win against the Oilers in their game on Thursday.
