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 50-22-6 record overall which has them in 2nd place of their division in the West with one of the best records in the entire NHL. They have also looked great on home ice this year with their 28-8-3 home record. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked great in their games this season with their 53-21-4 record overall which has them right at the top of their division in the West with the best record in the entire NHL. They have also been a really good road team with their 24-15-0 road record this season. The Jets are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and they are coming off a win over the Blues in their last one, snapping a really long winning streak for the Blues. The Stars have been the hotter team lately though, going 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. They have cooled off a bit now with 3 losses in a row, but they will be looking to bounce back and keep their momentum going into the playoffs. The Stars are coming off a 6-5 OT loss to the Canucks in their last one and they blew a lead late in that game so they will be looking to bounce back in a big way after the way they lost that game at home. The Stars still have lots to play for too since they are only 4 points behind the Jets for the best record so they can still finish 1st place in the West and this is going to be a huge game to decide that. The Stars will bring their best effort to bounce back with the way they lost that last game so look for them to get the win at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Stars to win this game.

“That was a really solid 60 minutes of going out in five-man units, outbattling them, and getting zone time on the opposition. I thought all four lines won their matchups, along with the D-men, obviously. But yeah, you do that, you have 20 guys doing that, that's a tough team to beat." - Scott Arniel after his team’s win against the Blues in their game on Monday.

“I’ve won and lost a lot of games in this league, and I don’t think I’ve ever lost one in that fashion before. Thankfully it’s not a playoff game. Hopefully we learn from it. It’s unfortunate because it’s going to cloud some of the really good things we did tonight for big portions of that game. But you’ve got to play for 60 minutes, and we didn’t. For whatever reason, we didn’t execute down the stretch. It’s disappointing because we did put in some work tonight in a positive direction I thought.” - Pete DeBoer after his team’s loss against the Canucks in their game on Tuesday.
