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 39-14-10 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 their home ice too with their 19-7-4 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights have looked good in their games this season with their 29-21-14 record overall which has them right near the top of their division in the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 15-11-7 road record this year. The Golden Knights have definitely looked a lot better on their home ice this season and they have looked terrible in their games lately, struggling a lot since coming back from the Olympic Break. They are 4-6-0 in their last 10 games and they have lost 2 games in a row now, coming off a 4-2 loss at home to the Oilers in their last one. The Stars have been the complete opposite though as they have been rolling in their games lately, only losing 1 game since coming back from the Olympic Break, and they are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now. They were on a 10 game winning streak going back before the break and that was just snapped by the Avalanche in a shootout just a few days ago, but they bounced back in their last one with a win over the Blackhawks and they are still 9-0-1 in their last 10 games too. These two teams are trending in opposite directions at the moment so look for the hotter Stars team to continue rolling at home in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on the Stars to win this game.

“We did control some play, we had pockets where we were really good when we played a certain way. Then, some of the chances we started giving up, we’re trying to pass it around the outside. It’s not smart hockey for a veteran team.” - Bruce Cassidy after his team’s loss against the Oilers in their game on Sunday.

“We practiced yesterday. Hard, hard game on Friday too. There’s a lot of emotion in there, a lot of energy spent there, coming off of a road trip especially. Just looking at it, there’s a few guys that I look at, and we looked a little bit tired. We played hard with good energy, but I just didn’t think we had the pop that we had [Friday]. We’ve been really good at just staying with it in these types of situations.” - Glen Gulutzan after his team’s win against the Blackhawks in their game on Sunday.
