Miro Heiskanen has been a driving force for the Dallas Stars in this series, leading the team in ice time, shot attempts, and recording at least a point in all three games so far.

My Stars vs. Wild predictions expect that trend to continue, with Heiskanen turning in another strong, well-rounded performance in Game 4.

Let’s dive into my NHL picks for Saturday, April 25.

  • UPDATE: Added prediction for who will win & goal scorer pick.

Who will win Stars vs Wild Game 4?

Dallas Stars: The Stars have allowed only 1.44 expected goals per 60 minutes, best among all playoff teams. They’re making life as easy as possible on Jake Oettinger. If he holds up, Dallas should head home with a commanding 3-1 series lead.

Stars vs Wild best bet: Miro Heiskanen Over 0.5 points (-125)

Miro Heiskanen does not look like somebody who jumped on a moving train at the beginning of the playoffs. He has logged almost 20 more minutes than his closest teammate through three games and been an absolute force offensively.

He has hit the scoresheet in each game and leads all Dallas Stars players with 23 shot attempts, averaging well over seven per night.

Heiskanen will play this game following two days of rest, which is important for somebody used to playing huge minutes. That shows in the numbers as he has points in 10 of 12 games this year after two days off.

Mavrik Bourque is skating with Jason Robertson and Matt Duchene on a terrific ‘second’ line that has dominated the series, winning the chance battle 20-6 at 5-on-5 while up 2-0 on the scoreboard. That is going to lead to production for Bourque sooner than later.

On the Minnesota Wild side, Jonas Brodin is the player to target. He is a blocked shot machine and has recorded at least two in nine of his past 10 games against Dallas.

Stars vs Wild SGP

  • Miro Heiskanen Over 0.5 points
  • Mavrik Bourque Over 0.5 points
  • Jonas Brodin Over 1.5 blocked shots

Stars vs Wild Game 4 goal scorer pick

Mavrik Bourque (+370)

Seven players have generated at least seven scoring chances in this series. Of that group, Mavrik Bourque (nine) is the only one who hasn’t found the back of the net.

He’s consistently getting looks and the Wild defense will shade more towards his linemates, who have five goals combined.

That should lead to more opportunities for Bourque, who is plenty capable of capitalizing.

Stars vs Wild odds for Game 4

  • Moneyline: Dallas +110 | Minnesota -130
  • Puck Line: Dallas +1.5 (-230) | Minnesota -1.5 (+190)
  • Over/Under: Over 5.5 (-135) | Under 5.5 (+115)
