Dallas Stars

The Stars had their previous game at home against Minnesota, a direct Western Conference rival. The team left no chance for success, winning 4:1. Jamie Benn, Radek Faksa, Jaani Hakanpaa, Ruupe Hintz scored for Dallas, and Jason Robertson had two assists. There are also 38 saves by Jake Oettinger, who has had a championship season so far with a 23-7 record in wins and losses, four shutouts, a 2.22 goals-against average, and a 92.6-percent save percentage.

Tampa Bay Lightning

The Lightning, after a break, lost to Florida 1:7. Then, they lost to San Jose 3:4 in overtime at home. However, the team was ready for their home game against Colorado, their opponent from the last Stanley Cup final. Tampa Bay dominated the game and sent five unanswered pucks to the Avalanche. Brandon Hagel scored a double, Corey Perry and Stephen Stamkos secured the power play, Mikhail Sergachev scored another goal, and Nikita Kucherov assisted. Andrei Vasilevsky saved 30 shots on goal and recorded his first shutout of the season.

Expert Betting Tips

Andrei Vasilevskiy got seven pucks on seven shots from Florida, but when he really needed to, he played to nil in a crucial game against Colorado. Perhaps his closest pursuer, Jake Oettinger, is in great shape and is a serious contender to become the best goalie of this championship. It's possible that the upcoming meeting in Dallas will be a duel between the goaltenders. Moreover, as well as the Tampa Bay-Colorado game, the Dallas-Tampa Bay encounter is crucial for both teams. After all, they also met in the Stanley Cup finals a couple of seasons ago. We are betting on a low-scoring game here.
