NHL News and Betting Previews| Xbet.ag
On Friday, the Dallas Stars host the Chicago Blackhawks in NHL action. The Stars (40-20-8, 88 points) are in second place in the Central Division after falling to Montreal in overtime on Tuesday, 4-3. The Blackhawks (41- 21-6, 88 points) are in first place in the Central Division (leading the Stars on the virtue of having more wins in their point total) but fell to the St. Louis Blues in a shootout on Wednesday, 3-2.

Expert NHL Pick on Chicago at Dallas and Game Info

Why Should You Bet on the Stars?

Only the Washington Capitals score more often than the Dallas Stars, who are #2 in the NHL with 3.2 goals per game. They are also lethal on the power play, scoring 22.0% of the time (#7 in the NHL). If Tyler Seguin could get off his recent cold streak, the team would be even more dangerous than they already are, and they have shown a few times already this season that they can blow the doors off the Blackhawks.

Why Should You Put Your Money on Chicago?

chicago-vs-dallas-pro-hockey-lines The Stars are #23 in the NHL in defense this season (2.9 goals per game); earlier this season, their defense was almost as good as their offense. Their blue line has suffered a number of injuries, but another problem is that even though they added goalie Antti Niemi in free agency over the off-season, all that did was give them two goalies that are pretty good but also have a tendency to let pucks by them at precisely the wrong time. If the Blackhawks can get out to an early lead, expect them to clamp down on the Stars and win.

Expert Betting Pick and Final Score Prediction

I’m picking the Blackhawks to take advantage of a porous Dallas defense and win, 4-2.
