The current betting odds have the Stars listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Stars have looked really good in their games this season with their 50-20-9 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 this year with their 24-10-4 home record and they are right in the race for the Presidents' Trophy so they still have plenty to play for even though they have already clinched a playoff spot. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked good in their games this season with their 48-24-6 record overall which has them in 3rd place of their division in the West. They have also looked good in their road games with their 23-13-3 road record this year. The Jets have already clinched a playoff spot too but unlike the Stars, the Jets don't really have much left to play for. They aren't in the race for the Presidents' Trophy and they aren't even at risk of losing their 3rd place spot either. They did win their last game but they haven't looked great lately with their 4-5-1 record in their last 10 games. The Stars have been the much hotter team coming into this one with their 9-1-0 record in their last 10 games and they also have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row now. They have been the better team lately and their momentum along with the home advantage will help them win this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Stars to win this game.
