Roope Hintz has averaged close to a point per game on the year and is showing no signs of slowing down, having picked up eight over his last nine contests.

My Stars vs. Blues predictions expect him to have another productive outing against a St. Louis team he always seems to cause problems for.

Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Tuesday, January 27.

Stars vs Blues prediction

Stars vs Blues best bet: Roope Hintz Over 0.5 points (-145)

Roope Hintz is somewhat of a St. Louis Blues killer. He has points in four of the past five head-to-head meetings, piling up eight along the way. His success should continue in this matchup, as Hintz is extremely well rested.

We don’t have much data to work with on that kind of rest, but he has eight points over eight games following two off days this season. He's also hit the scoresheet in four of the last five under those circumstances.

The Blues rank 28th in goals against and have struggled to get saves all year. Their struggles on the penalty kill, where they rank 29th, also play a major role in their inability to keep the puck out.

Hintz and the Dallas Stars are certainly equipped to take advantage, as the Stars rank No. 2 in power-play percentage at 29.1%.

Stars vs Blues same-game parlay

Miro Heiskanen has played 10 games against teams that rank in the Bottom 5 in shots allowed to defensemen. He recorded multiple shots in seven of them, including a two-shot effort vs. the Blues less than a week ago.

Mikko Rantanen has scored 11 goals over his past 10 games against the Blues. Given their struggles in net and on the penalty kill (Rantanen ranks fifth in power play points), he’s a real threat to score again.
