Stars are led by a great offense

The Stars are having a great season with their offense leading the way, scoring 3.28 goals per game with nine goals in the last two games. Mikko Rantanen, Jason Robertson, and Wyatt Johnston have scored 77 goals and 109 assists while defenseman Miro Heiskanen has added seven goals and 34 assists from the point to open up the offense.

The offense has stepped up but the defense has also been great, allowing only 2.74 goals per game. Esa Lindell and Miro Heiskanen have combined for 7.9 defensive point shares while Thomas Harley and Alexander Petrovic have added 3.9 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. The hope is that goaltender Jake Oettinger bounces back as he’s been great this season but has struggled lately, allowing seven goals in his last two starts.

Stars vs Mammoth Pick

Money Line Pick For Stars vs Mammoth

  • Stars (-110) (4 units)

This will be a great game between two of the best teams in the NHL. The Mammoth look to step up on their home ice but the Stars have won three games in a row and look to take over this one on their home ice. The Stars, who average 3.28 goals per game, should pile on the goals with Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, and the rest of the forward unit controlling the puck in the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Stars, who allow only 2.74 goals per game, should limit the Mammoth offense with Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jake Oettinger to make plenty of big saves. The Stars should win the game with a strong performance on the road.

Take the Stars money line as road Favorites.

Over/Under Pick For Stars vs Mammoth

  • Over 5.5 (5 Units)

The two teams have great offenses, and I see this game being a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Mammoth, who average 3.17 goals per game, should create plenty of scoring chances with Clayton Keller, Dylan Guenther, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Stars, who have scored nine goals in their last two games, should run up the score with Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, Wyatt Johnston, and the rest of the forward unit establishing a strong offensive zone presence while creating open shots with effective puck movement as Miro Heiskanen fires shots on the net from the point. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game with both offenses stepping up.

Take the Over on 5.5 goals.
