Anaheim vs Dallas Prediction: the Texan Team to Outplay the Outsider

Prediction for the NHL match between Anaheim vs Dallas, which will take place on March 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anaheim

Anaheim is an NHL underdog that has undergone a lineup rebuilding. They have gotten rid of their past leaders and have drafted promising youngsters. However, they are struggling to meet the expectations. Additionally, Trevor Zegras and Mason McTavish are currently injured, which has weakened the team. Still, the Californians occasionally earn points and aren't entirely hopeless. The Ducks are currently 14th in the Western Conference standings, and they will likely finish there, sitting well behind San Jose, Chicago, and Arizona.

Dallas

Dallas is having a decent season. Meanwhile, they experienced a setback in February, losing six out of seven games and only beating Carolina 2-1. The Texans solved all their problems in the spring, defeating Winnipeg 4-1 and San Jose twice, 3-2 and 7-6. Their second game against the Sharks was particularly impressive, as they came back from 3-6 in the third period and won. Currently, the team is in second place in the Western Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Dallas is fighting for the top spot in the standings to secure the highest seeding in Cup battles and an advantage in the playoffs. The Stars are motivated and expected to earn two points against one of the weakest teams. Furthermore, the Texans have a favorable H2H record against the Californians, having won nine of the last ten meetings. 

This rivalry has not been exciting lately, with cautious and closed battles. A carnival battle should not be expected. In their ten previous H2H meetings, the Ducks scored only 44 goals, 4.40 per game. Also, they failed to send six goals mark eight times.
