Stars vs Penguins Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game

Tonight’s Matchup

The Dallas Stars will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins tonight in a battle of two of the top teams in the NHL. The Stars are coming off a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, while the Penguins are coming off a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Monday night.

Head-to-Head

The Stars and Penguins have met three times this season, with the Stars winning two of those meetings. The Stars won 4-1 in Dallas on October 26th, and 3-2 in overtime in Pittsburgh on December 10th. The Penguins won 4-3 in a shootout in Dallas on January 18th.

Keys to the Game

The key to the game for the Stars will be to continue to get production from their top line of Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and Joe Pavelski. The trio has combined for 52 goals this season, and they will need to be at their best against a Penguins team that has allowed the fewest goals in the NHL this season.

The key to the game for the Penguins will be to take advantage of their power play. The Penguins have the third-best power play in the NHL, and they will need to convert on their chances against a Stars team that has the 21st-ranked penalty kill.

Prediction

The Stars and Penguins are two of the best teams in the NHL, and this game is sure to be a close one. The Stars have won two of the three meetings between the two teams this season, but the Penguins have the home-ice advantage tonight. I predict that the Penguins will win a close game, 3-2.

Odds

The Penguins are a -135 favorite to win tonight’s game, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Stars are a +115 underdog.
