Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues Prediction: St. Louis is hard to consider a serious contender

Prediction for the NHL Dallas Stars vs St. Louis Blues match which will take place on October 13th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Dallas Stars had the usual great regular season, leading to the conference finals, losing in six games to the more varying Vegas Golden Knights. That's the top of today's Dallas. In the offseason, the Stars did sign Matt Duchene, but it's hardly a pivotal moment that will allow them to move forward and win the West this season.

Dallas had a good preseason regarding results, winning four of seven games, three in regulation, and losing only two games over 60 minutes. The puck differential is 23:17.

The Blues acted as sellers throughout last season, trading away Vladimir Tarasenko and Ryan O'Reilly, ending a phase culminating with the 2019 title. Now, St. Louis is an up-and-coming team with young leaders. However, there was also a landmark signing this offseason. One of Philadelphia's leaders, Kevin Hayes, was added to the Blues.

In the preseason, St. Louis won four of eight games in regulation and lost only twice in 60 minutes with a goal differential of 23:23.

St. Louis is hard to consider a serious contender right now. The team is too young, and Craig Berube will need time and a few trade windows to assemble another championship team. On the other hand, Dallas is the West finalist from last season and joins the new championship as one of the top favorites in the conference. Given the team's difference in status and class, we bet on Dallas. We also expect this not to be the most productive game - the rivals have not scored more than seven goals in over five years.
