The Detroit Red Wings (14-8-4) take on the Dallas Stars (15-8-3) Monday at American Airlines Center. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s'lines around the Red Wings vs. Stars odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Wings are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators Saturday, but they have to bounce back from a scary incident in the game. C Dylan Larkin was checked in the back of the head and neck area and laid motionless on the ice for a moment. LW David Perron retaliated and was served a match penalty and will likely face a suspension. The Wings have lost 2 in a row and will have to show resilience likely without Larkin.
The Stars are coming off a 6-1 bludgeoning by the Vegas Golden Knights Saturday. They have lost 3 of 4 and slipped to 3rd place in the Central Division. C Roope Hintz missed the last game due to illness, and he’s questionable for this one. He scored his 9th and 10th goals Thursday in the last game he played.
