The Winnipeg Jets (37-15-5) take on the Dallas Stars (35-17-9) Thursday at American Airlines Arena. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+/Hulu). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jets'vs. Stars odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Jets are flying at peak altitude right now, winners of 4 in a row and 7 of 8. They have worked their way into a tie with Dallas at 79 points atop the Central Division. They muffled the St. Louis Blues, 4-2, Tuesday night. LW Kyle Connor scored his 24th goal. He has goals in 4 straight, points in 6 straight and 5 goals and 6 assists during the stretch.
The Stars were pummeled by the Colorado Avalanche Tuesday night in a 5-1 drubbing. Warning: shameless plug incoming. We cashed all 3 bets in that one. The Stars actually got on the board first when C Logan Stankoven scored his 2nd goal in as many games. He was rewarded by being sent down to the AHL afterwards. LW Jason Robertson has just 2 goals in his last 14 games.
