The Dallas Stars (45-21-14) open a home-and-home set with the St. Louis Blues (37-36-7) Wednesday at Enterprise Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (TNT). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Stars vs. Blues odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Stars sit 1 point behind the Colorado Avalanche in the Central Division with 2 games remaining; Colorado lost 2-1 in overtime to the Edmonton Oilers Tuesday. Dallas has just this 2-game home-and-home series with St. Louis remaining while Colorado faces the Winnipeg Jets and Nashville Predators – 2 tough divisional foes – to close out the season. The Stars will be motivated to take this one and are playing solid hockey, going 7-2-1 over the last 10 games.
The Blues have also been playing well; albeit too late in the season as they’re already eliminated from the playoffs. However, they have something to play for too as they need to win one of these games to avoid their 1st losing season since 2005-06. The Blues are 6-3-1 in the last 10.
