Senators vs Stars Key Stats
Ottawa's offense has given returns lately, to take the goals count to 77 in 25 games. The duo of Brady Tkachuk and Claude Giroux have made their offense work, scoring over 10 goals each. They will have a huge task on their shoulders in the upcoming game.
The team certainly lacks defensive strength, having failed to keep the opposition in check. The weak defensive line has made the work of the goaltenders difficult and even after having a save percentage of over 0.900, they have failed to make a positive impact.
Dallas have one of the best offenses in the league, having scored over 95 goals in 26 games. Jason Robertson leads the scoreboard with 23 goals with other players contributing to the team's success too. The offense is going to be key in the upcoming games as they look to bounce back from the big loss.
Their defense is potent enough to keep the opposition's attacks in check and has conceded less than three goals per game on average this season. There are a few concerns and challenges, as they look to improve it for the upcoming crucial games.
Senators vs Stars Betting Prediction
Both teams having lost the last game will look to bounce back with a better display. The challenge becomes more difficult for Ottawa, having failed to perform in away games. Further, a poor defensive record makes them vulnerable against a high-scoring team.
Dallas, playing at home, will look to make the most of the given opportunities. They have a better record against a team with a losing record and with a better team strength, they are likely to score enough and defend for a win in this game.
Prediction: Take, Dallas, -1.5(+130)
