San Jose at Dallas

Sixth-place Dallas may be home, but the team is not stellar on defense at #27 in goals scored and #21 in penalty killing. They lost their top offensive player last week with Tyler Seguin out five weeks. Dallas is on a 5-1 run UNDER the total. They face a good San Jose team that has a winning record both home and away, with excellent balance across the board. They can play defense and are focused tonight to stop a recent slide. The Sharks are 4-1 in the last five meetings with Dallas and have totaled 16 goals during a 4-0-1 stretch against the Stars. Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen is just 0-1-2 in his last three starts against San Jose, so grab the visitors in a defensive battle. Back San Jose and the UNDER.
