St. Louis at Dallas

Dallas had a potent top line last season with Jason Robertson, Joe Pavelski and Roope Hintz, and now the Stars have added Matt Duchene to help with some much-needed depth after they advanced to the conference final. The Stars are solid defensively after finishing #3 in the league with a 2.62 goals-against average, and Jake Oettinger will be in net tonight following a 37-11-11 season and a 2.37 GAA and .919 save percentage. St. Louis missed the postseason for the first time in five years and the Blues will be without departed Vladimir Tarasenko and Ryan O'Reilly, who were traded. The Blues are picked to finish in the middle of the pack in the Central Division mainly due to a lack of defense after finishing with a 3.63 GAA in 2022-23. Jordan Binnington is likely tonight and he was 27-27-6 with a 3.31 GAA and .894 save percentage. Dallas won the last three meetings last season. Take the Stars - Max Play.
