Dallas Stars @ New York Islanders Preview
The Dallas Stars (36-18-2) head into this matchup riding high after a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. They boast a potent offense, ranking 8th in the NHL with 3.17 goals per game, and a strong defense, allowing just 2.51 goals per game (4th in the league). The Stars are 16-11-1 on the road this season and have been consistent in their recent form, going 7-2-1 in their last 10 games.
The New York Islanders (25-23-7) are looking to maintain their six-game home win streak. However, they face challenges with a -11 scoring differential and struggles on special teams, ranking last in both power play conversion (11.5%) and penalty kill (70.7%). The Islanders are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games but have key injuries, including Mathew Barzal and Noah Dobson, which could impact their performance.
Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis
The Dallas Stars and New York Islanders have faced each other 128 times historically. The Islanders have won 64 games, while the Stars have won 48, with 16 games ending in a draw. In their last 10 meetings, the Stars hold a 5-2-3 advantage, including a 3-0 shutout victory earlier this season on October 12, 2024. Tyler Seguin led the Stars in that game with two goals.
Pick: Dallas Stars Moneyline (-130)
The Dallas Stars are the pick for this matchup. With their superior offensive capabilities and the Islanders' struggles on special teams, the Stars have a clear edge. Dallas has not lost in regulation to New York in their last six meetings, and the Islanders' injuries to key players like Barzal and Dobson further tilt the scales in favor of the Stars. Additionally, Dallas has proven they can win on the road with a 16-11-1 record this season.
Top Player Prop Picks
1. Jason Robertson Over 0.5 Goals
Jason Robertson has been a key offensive contributor for the Stars, with 20 goals and 31 assists this season. Facing an Islanders team that struggles defensively, Robertson is a strong candidate to find the back of the net.
2. Bo Horvat Over 2.5 Shots on Goal
Bo Horvat leads the Islanders with 40 points this season and has been a consistent offensive presence. With the Islanders likely to rely on him heavily, expect Horvat to generate multiple scoring opportunities.
3. Wyatt Johnston Over 0.5 Assists
Wyatt Johnston has been in excellent form recently, with six goals and seven assists in his last 10 games. His playmaking ability makes him a solid pick to record an assist in this game.
