Dallas vs New Jersey Prediction 5 March 2025
π Will the βstarsβ extend their winning streak? Dallas continues to strive for leadership in the West. The club rarely makes mistakes and takes full advantage of its chances, while Winnipeg is losing points. The gap from the top spot has already been reduced to four wins with a game in hand. New Jersey, on the other hand, continues to alternate between successes and failures and is struggling to stay in the playoff eight of the East.
Head-to-Head
In the current regular season, the opponents have met only once, and it was quite recently. At the end of February, the "Devils" failed to take advantage of their home ice and lost with a score of 2-4. The fate of the matchup was decided in the first period, after two goals by the "Stars". The most productive player of the match was Dallas forward Wyatt Johnston, who managed to score a goal and provide an assist. The player is still in excellent form and has been scoring points for six consecutive games.
Head-to-head statistics Dallas - New Jersey
Dallas Stars Team Overview
Peter DeBoer's team is in excellent shape. The home team has suffered only one defeat in their last six matches. That loss came against the "fiery" Columbus, who left them no chance (4-6). However, this local setback did not affect the team, as they immediately went on to crush Los Angeles (6-2) and St. Louis (6-3) consecutively. The club's goal is quite clear; they are not just content with having home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs and are aiming to fight for the top spot in the conference. The chances for ultimate success are greater than ever.
Match Results: Dallas Stars
New Jersey Devils Team Overview
The "Devils" continue to struggle. The club from Newark has been alternating results for a month now. Any success is invariably overshadowed by another failure. For instance, after defeating Utah (3:1), Sheldon Keefe's team was shut out by Vegas. This inconsistency continues to negatively impact the visitors' standing in the tournament. The club is dropping lower in the table and is approaching the edge of the Eastern Conference playoff zone. The risk of missing out on the playoffs increases with each passing day.

π Probable Lineups
Dallas: Oettinger - Harley, Ceci - Robertson, Hintz, Burk
New Jersey: Markstrom - Dillon, Hamilton - Palat, Hughes, Bratt
π₯ Goalkeepers
Dallas's goaltender Jake Oettinger is gradually returning to his best form. In three of the last four matches, the American maintained a 90% save rate and secured three victories for his teammates. His only issue in this stretch was the "fiery" Columbus offense (82%). The player's position as the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the "Stars" is unshakable.
New Jersey's goalkeeper Jacob Markstrom has finally returned to action after an injury and had an outstanding performance in his first game against Vegas. The netminder managed to save 91.7% of shots, and it wasn't his fault that his teammates failed to score a single goal. At the final stretch of the regular season, the Swede is expected to be the player who makes a difference on the ice and breaks the streak of similar results for the team.
Editorial Prediction
Despite the significant difference in the tournament standings of the teams, we expect a rather tough contest with a minimal number of pucks scored. The "Stars" continue their pursuit of Winnipeg, and losing points is definitely not in their plans. The "Devils," on the other hand, intend to break a streak of similar results and get back on the winning track with the help of Jakob MarkstrΓΆm, who has returned to action. In our opinion, this will lead to a "closed" scenario in the final part of the game. We recommend the bet - total in the 3rd period under 2.5 pucks.No comments
