Dallas vs Minnesota Prediction: the Western Leaders Against the Average Team

Prediction for the NHL Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild match, which will take place on February 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Dallas is looking great in this campaign. The team leads the Central and West divisions with 68 points after 52 meetings. However, the Stars can't relax - the density is high, so that they might slip in just a few games. Before the break for the All-Star Game, Dallas had three surprising games. All of them failed in overtime by the same scenario with a score of 2-3. However, on February 7, the Stars beat Anaheim 3-2 in a shootout.

Minnesota has shown promising results for their level this season. Currently, the Wild are fourth in the Central Division standings with 58 points - on edge but still in the playoff zone. As for the last meetings of the team, things were not so smooth because they could not win six straight matches. Moreover, Minnesota failed four times during that time and claimed two victories in overtime. After the break, it managed to lose to Arizona 2-3.

Experts consider Dallas the favorite for the upcoming matchup, and we agree. Yes, the Stars haven't been fairy lately, but they will be on a roll after the win over Anaheim, albeit a hard-fought one. Meanwhile, Minnesota has yet to win in regulation time in six games in a row, and the day before, they sensationally lost to Arizona. We suggest betting on the final win for the hosts.
