Dallas vs Pittsburgh Prediction: the Stars' Setback Doesn't Hurt Them

Prediction for the NHL Dallas vs Pittsburgh match, which will take place on March 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Dallas has an excellent season trying to get as high a seed as possible in the Cup battles. Yes, the Texans occasionally have bad stretches, but they are short and usually are followed by many wins. Now the Stars have slowed down a little, as in the four previous games, there suffered three defeats. The only victory was over Calgary in the shootout, 6-5. At the moment, Peter DeBoer's team sits third in the Western Conference, only four points behind the leader.

The Pittsburgh tournament placing is more complicated as they continue battling to make the playoffs. They should do their best at every game to keep their place in the top eight, but the Penguins have fallen apart in the second half of March. Mike Sullivan's team didn't earn a point in four games losing by a combined score of 7-18. Fortunately, the day before, they beat Colorado, 5-2, climbing to the coveted eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Dallas has a more solid season. Lately, there has been a slight decline, but the Penguins are not shining either, gaining only 2 out of 10 possible points in the five meetings. Overall, the Texans look stable. In addition, they will be playing at home. 

We should not expect tons of goals. Recently, Dallas and Pittsburgh could be more impressive with high efficiency, scoring in the four meetings only 13 pucks (3.25 on average per game). Now, both squads meet their tournament goals. The Stars are trying to win the conference, and the Penguins - are to make the playoffs.
