Game Preview
Two of the top three in the Central Division will lock horns in the NHL on Thursday. However, the increased pressure is likely to be on the Dallas Stars, who are within two points of the Colorado Avalanche at the top of the standings. Confidence levels within the camp should be sky high after winning eight of their last ten, which includes victories in each of their last four.
Only the Avalanche have scored more goals than the Stars in the Central Division so far this term, but no side is currently on a longer winning sequence in the Western Conference. Dallas maintained their excellent run of form on Tuesday after beating the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 on the road.
Minnesota will have the home ice advantage this week, as they bid to continue their run of reliable results in the NHL. The Wild have won seven of their last ten, and they have suffered just two regulation time defeats across the same period.
The Wild maintained their strong form in their latest outing, recording a 4-1 win on the road against the Seattle Kraken. Three of their goals in the road success were netted in the final period, with Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Johansson both recording goals.
Stars vs. Wild Picks
Both of these teams come into this round of games in excellent recent form, and that ensures that they will be hard to separate. However, the Stars have been performing at a very high level in recent weeks, and they are given the narrow preference.
