Dallas Stars vs Calgary Flames. The NHL pick for this game is the Dallas Stars.
The Flames are attempting to build on a solid victory, but it is predicted that the Stars will take control of the game after recovering from two difficult losses.
With Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz, and the rest of the forward group developing an effective offensive zone presence and generating open shots with great puck movement while Miro Heiskanen provides shots on goal from the blue line, the Stars, who average 3.39 goals per game, should score a ton of goals.
Esa Lindell, Miro Heiskanen, and the rest of the Stars’ defense group should limit the Flames’ offensive production by forcing turnovers in the offensive zone and preventing many attempts on goal, giving Jake Oettinger plenty of opportunities to make crucial saves.
The Dallas Stars will win to a predicted score of 5-4.
