Mar 20, 2025 | 7:00 PM (Eastern Time) | American Airlines Center

Dallas Stars
Pick, Moneyline (-130): B+

Steven Stamkos remains a goal-scoring catalyst for Tampa Bay, with the Lightning’s current two-game winning streak. Conversely, Dallas enters on a dominant run of form, although with Miro Heiskanen out from a knee injury the game could be turned on its head. Historically, the Stars have found success against teams from the Eastern Conference when playing on home ice, reinforcing their edge in this late-season battle. Factoring in these variables, the forecast favors Dallas on the moneyline, graded a B+ for both likelihood and reward.

Over/Under Pick: Over 6, (-110) - B+

Brayden Point has been buzzing for the Lightning, who enter this clash riding a short but sweet winning streak, while the Stars boast a recent run of success that has boosted their confidence. Expect both sides’ offensive prowess to power a lively scoreboard that pushes above the total, yielding a respectable payout for bettors seeking to gamble on firepower rather than defensive prowess.

Puckline Pick: Tampa Bay Lightning, -1.5 (-240) - B
Steven Stamkos steps onto the ice with confidence after propelling the 39-23-5 Lightning through a brief two-game winning streak, while the 43-21-3 Stars have stumbled in their last contest. According to recent team announcements, Dallas remains watchful over Tyler Seguin’s condition, though most core players should be ready to go. Historically, Tampa Bay has managed favorable results when visiting Western Conference foes, especially in tightly contested outings against Dallas. With the Lightning’s offense gaining momentum and no major new injuries sidelining their key scorers, the puckline call leans toward Tampa Bay covering -1.5. Graded a B for combining a strong likelihood of success with moderate payout, this pick carries respectable value in a clash set to heat up the rink.
