Stars vs Red Wings prediction
Stars vs Red Wings best bet: Stars moneyline (-125)
The Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings are two of the hottest teams in recent weeks, but Dallas has more staying power.
While the Wings have won two in a row and seven of their last nine contests, they’re still just 8-5-2 in the last month. On the flip side, Dallas is 12-1-1 in that same span, and 18-3-2 dating back to November 8.
Furthermore, the Stars are 7-1 against teams that win more than 55% of their games, while the Wings are 6-3.
Dallas is as healthy as they can be right now with just two long-term injuries. The Stars are a much better team, and going on the road hasn’t been a problem for them. They’re well over .500 both at home (12-5-1) and on the road (13-2-4).
Finally, the Stars have the all-important advantage in the crease with Jake Oettinger (16-6-2, 2.50 GAA, .910 SV%) projected to face off against John Gibson (11-7-1, 3.01 GAA, .892 SV%).

Stars vs Red Wings same-game parlay
While the Stars have played some high-scoring games recently, those have included a few empty-net goals and inept defenses. The Red Wings have been able to keep their opponents in check recently, so this game shouldn’t fly off the rails in Detroit.
Miro Heiskanen is on a three-game point streak and now has 33 points in 37 games this season. He should get in on the action for Dallas tonight.
