Dallas Stars
Pick: Dallas Stars, Moneyline (-355): Grade of Pick: A

Jamie Benn looks set to lead the charge for Dallas while a nagging injury to a key Ducks forward further hinders Anaheim’s momentum. Dallas rides a minor losing streak into this contest, whereas Anaheim has dropped three of their last four and appears unsteady on both ends of the ice. Historically, the Stars have outperformed the Ducks in previous matchups within the conference, and their potent offense should capitalize on home-ice advantage. Combining these factors, the -355 line favors a likely but lower-yield payout, earning this bet a solid A rating for its comparatively safer return potential.

Over/Under Pick: Over 6, (+120) - B+

Jason Robertson’s continued dominance for Dallas sets the tone for a team enjoying a 6-3-1 run in their last ten, while Anaheim looks to end its slump. The Stars’ main skaters remain healthy, though Tyler Seguin’'s absence could impact top-line shifts. By contrast, the Ducks have been missing John Gibson, which puts extra strain on Lukáš Dostál in net. Historically, Dallas has averaged impressive scoring totals against Pacific Division opponents, and the Ducks tend to allow more goals when on the road. Betting the Over generously rewards backers at +120, especially considering the Stars’ high-octane offense, and it earns a B+ for solid potential to bring in around $120 for every $100 wagered.

Puckline Pick: Dallas Stars, -1.5 (-130) - A

Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks has continued to dazzle fans all season, but his team has lost three of their last four, dimming hopes of a turnaround against a Dallas squad riding great form late in the season. The Stars remain mostly healthy and can rely on their top defensemen to counter Anaheim's offense, while the Ducks must adapt to recent injuries that have hampered their depth. Historically, Dallas has put up great numbers against Pacific Division foes, adding another layer of confidence to this pick. Expect a comfortable mid-range payout if this wager pans out, meriting a strong “A” rating. Get set for a Texas twist on the scoreboard!
