Minnesota at Dallas

Minnesota will be playing its sixth road game over the last nine contests. They've looked worn down losing five of seven by a 24-18 count. They are without injured Joel Eriksson Ek, one of the best defensive forwards in the NHL, along with forward Mason Shaw (seven goals, 10 assists) and center Oskar Sudnqvist (10 goals, 18 assists). Minnesota is 22nd in the NHL in goals scored and 23rd in shooting percentage. Central Division champion Dallas has spent much of the last week at home after ending the season with a 1-0 win at home over St. Louis. Dallas is on a 9-2 run, winning six in a row while allowing a total of six goals. The Stars are fully healthy as they just got forward Mason Marchment back into the lineup on an offense that is seventh in goals scored. The rock-solid defense is sixth in save percentage (.916), third in goals allowed, and Top 10 in shots on goal allowed. Dallas had a 4-1 win in February at home over Minnesota and the wagering value is on another one-sided victory for the home team. Play Dallas on the Puck-Line.
