Canucks at Stars picks and predictions
Prediction
Stars 5, Canucks 3
Moneyline
PASS: Looking to the puck line for the best value on this one.
Puck line/Against the spread
Dallas is 18-7-1 at home. The Stars are back on home ice after back-to-back road games; after 5 previous multi-game trips, they returned home with 4 wins (4-1-0).
When playing on 2-days of rest, Dallas is 6-1-0, scoring 4.14 goals per game against 2.86. The Stars are underperforming recent 5-on-5 expected-goals numbers. They own a 30.4% power play since Jan. 14 and are facing a Vancouver club that has logged more-than 15 penalty minutes per game since Jan. 16.
If Demko gets the call for the Canucks, he’s been prone to some clunkers. The probability for some cushion here is worth a STARS -1.5 (+145) play.
Over/Under
Dallas owns some expected-goal numbers that indicate more lamps being lit in 5-on-5 play and at both ends. With the Stars’ nice offensive numbers on 2-day rest and with some fade lean on Demko, BACK THE OVER 5.5 (-110).

The Vancouver Canucks will face off against the Dallas Stars in an exciting NHL matchup. Both teams have been playing well recently, so it should be an interesting game to watch.
The odds for this game are close, with the Canucks being slight underdogs. However, they have been playing well as of late and could pull off an upset.
As for picks and predictions, I think this game could go either way. The Stars have a strong defense and goaltending, while the Canucks have a potent offense. It will likely come down to which team can execute their game plan better.
I would lean towards the Stars winning this game, but it could easily go the other way. It should be a competitive and entertaining matchup between these two talented teams.
