Dallas Stars @ San Jose Sharks Preview

The Dallas Stars (34-18-2) head into this matchup looking to bounce back from a tough 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Despite the recent setback, the Stars remain a strong team, boasting a 14-11-1 road record and ranking third in the league in goals against per game (2.47). Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston have been key contributors, combining for 12 points in their last 10 games.

On the other hand, the San Jose Sharks (15-34-7) are struggling, having lost three straight games and sitting at the bottom of the NHL in goals against per game (3.64). The Sharks have also been offensively challenged, especially after trading Mikael Granlund, their leading scorer, to the Stars. Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli will need to step up if the Sharks hope to compete in this game.

widget-odds-nhl-ats-5257-DAL-SJ

The Stars are the clear favorites in this matchup, and for good reason. With a strong defensive unit and a potent offense led by Jason Robertson, they have the tools to exploit the Sharks' weaknesses. San Jose's recent struggles, including their inability to generate even-strength scoring, make it difficult to envision them keeping this game close. The Stars' ability to score at least three goals in 27 of their wins this season further supports this pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Jason Robertson Over 1.5 Points

Robertson has been a consistent offensive force for the Stars, tallying 19 goals and 31 assists this season. With the Sharks' defensive struggles, Robertson is poised for a big game.

2. Wyatt Johnston Over 0.5 Assists

Johnston has recorded eight assists in his last 10 games and is a key playmaker for the Stars. Look for him to set up scoring opportunities against a vulnerable Sharks defense.

3. Macklin Celebrini Over 0.5 Goals

Despite the Sharks' struggles, Celebrini has been a bright spot with 17 goals this season. He remains their best chance to find the back of the net in this game.
