Dallas Stars
Pick: Dallas Stars, Moneyline (-220): Grade of Pick: A-
Dallas captain Jamie Benn has been on fire lately, fueling the Stars’ three-game winning streak going into this clash. Meanwhile, the Wild have dropped their last two contests, placing extra pressure on Kirill Kaprizov and the remaining lineup to step up on both ends of the ice. Adding to Minnesota’s challenges is a recent injury concern on their defensive core that may limit their ability to shut down Dallas’s potent offense. Historically, the Stars have enjoyed strong home ice performances against both the Wild and other Central Division foes, giving them a critical edge in this matchup. Although the -220 line requires a bigger investment, the risk-to-reward ratio remains favorable, and this pick earns an A- for its strong likelihood of success and decent payout potential.
Over/Under Pick: Over 5.5, (-110) - B+

Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild has been torching defenses lately, leading a squad riding a two-game winning surge while Dallas boasts a three-game streak of its own. Although Mats Zuccarello remains uncertain after taking a knock in the previous contest, the Stars are close to full strength now that Tyler Seguin has returned to bolster the offense. Historically, these Central Division opponents tend to produce goal-fests in their head-to-head showdowns, and this upcoming clash should be no exception. Taking Over 5.5 goals garners a B+ rating due to its strong odds of success and a solid payout should both offenses ignite.

Puckline Pick: Minnesota Wild, +1.5 (-145) - A

Kirill Kaprizov leads a surging Minnesota Wild (39-25-5), currently riding a three-game winning streak, against a Dallas Stars squad (43-21-4) looking to snap its two-game slide. With Jonas Brodin back to stabilize Minnesota’s blue line, and Dallas’s Miro Heiskanen day-to-day, momentum swings heavily in the Wild’s favor. Historically, Minnesota has performed well on home ice in key Central Division matchups, adding extra confidence to a puckline wager. Taking the Wild at +1.5 (-145) offers a solid payoff if they continue their attacking prowess, earning this bet an “A” grade for both likelihood and profit potential, given Dallas’s current struggles and Minnesota’s dominant home record.
