Dallas vs Columbus Prediction: the Favorite is Evident

Prediction for the NHL Dallas Stars vs Columbus Blue Jackets match, which will take place on February 19th. The Stars urgently need to improve, otherwise their situation could worsen. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Dallas

Dallas currently leads the Western Conference standings, but for how long? Lately, the team's playing has been falling apart, as evidenced by only two points earned in the last three games - 2-3 (in OT) against Boston and 1-2 after a shootout against Minnesota. Thus, the Stars have squandered their advantage over Vegas in the West. At the moment, the difference between the opponents is only two points.

Columbus

Columbus is the weakest team in the NHL. On the eve of the matchup with Dallas, the team has only 38 points, one less than the last team in the Western Conference standings, Chicago. However, the Jackets delighted their fans twice in the past three games. First, they unexpectedly defeated Toronto on the road (4-3) and then Winnipeg at home (3-1).

Expert Betting Tips

The first team in the Western Conference and the last team in the Eastern Conference meet. Of course, the difference in class is enormous. Columbus shows sparse and sad hockey this season, while Dallas is fighting hard for the lead. Also, the game will take place at the arena in Dallas, where the Stars will perform with the fans' support.
