Game Preview
The Dallas Stars have enjoyed a competitive first half of the season in the NHL, going 25-7-5 to sit second in the Central Division. Only the Colorado Avalanche have recorded more wins and scored more goals in the Western Conference so far this term.
Confidence levels should be very high after going 8-2-0 across their last ten, and winning each of their last four. Their most recent outing saw them land a dominant 5-1 success over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Esa Lindell ended the night with two assists. The Stars have been efficient on the road throughout the season, going 13-2-4. That will give them confidence ahead of this trip to Detroit.
However, the Red Wings should also be respected for the start to the season that they have made. Detroit have gone 21-13-3 to sit top of the Atlantic Division, and they have accumulated a record of 7-2-1 across their last ten.
The Red Wings recorded a second straight win in their latest outing, as they registered a 3-2 success at home to the Washington Capitals. John Leonard and Lucas Raymond both scored goals in the win.
Stars vs. Red Wings Picks
In-form teams collide in Detroit on Tuesday, and cases can be made for both teams. However, the offensive quality boasted by the Stars could ultimately prove to be the difference-maker in this clash.
