Dallas vs Winnipeg Prediction 13 November 2026
π Winnipeg have finally emerged from their slump and now head to Dallas on a four-game winning streak. The Jets are not just winning: they are scoring at least four goals per game. The Stars are doing well too, having picked up points in four straight games and allowed almost no one to run riot in attack. That makes for an intriguing game: one of the leagueβs most reliable defences against an opponent whose attack has improved noticeably of late. Winnipeg also have a score to settle with the Texans.
Hintz settled the game in overtime
π In the previous game, Dallas had to find a way past Winnipegβs goaltender twice in regulation. Wyatt Johnston and Roope Hintz scored a goal each, but the visitors responded through Gabriel Vilardi and Kyle Connor. With the score at 2:2, the teams went to overtime, where Hintz scored again to give the Stars a 3:2 win. Winnipeg therefore failed to beat their opponents once more, although they had no intention of losing in regulation.
Head-to-head statistics Dallas - Winnipeg
Defence is more reliable than attack
Dallas have won ten of their seventeen games and sit comfortably in a playoff spot. Their defence deserves most of the credit. The Stars have allowed just 41 goals and give up an average of only 22.9 shots on goal per game. Things have not gone quite as smoothly in attack, though: they score 2.87 goals per game, well below last seasonβs 3.33. Their power play is gradually improving, however. Its conversion rate has reached 27.5%, while their penalty kill leads the league at 89.7%. Duchene, BΓ€ck and Capobianco are out injured, while Heiskanenβs availability is in doubt.
Against San Jose, it was the special teams that helped Dallas take two points. After conceding first, the Stars equalised through a Roope Hintz power-play goal before Jamie Benn put them ahead. Jason Robertson later extended the lead, and Thomas Harley scored the game-winning goal. Harley was involved in all three power-play goals and finished with three points. Dallas also had to kill six penalties. They stopped five of their opponentsβ attempts, including a crucial one late in the game. Final score: 4:3.

Four wins after a poor run
Winnipeg have picked up noticeably. After losing to Carolina, Scott Arnielβs team won four straight games, scoring 19 goals in that stretch. The opponents were no pushovers either: Montreal, Vancouver, Tampa and New Jersey. The power play has helped too, converting at 23.7%, the 11th-best rate in the NHL. But the defence still raises questions. The Jets have allowed 65 goals in 19 games, putting them among the five worst teams in the West by that measure. Namestnikov and Bjugstad are out, while Salomonsson is missing games for personal reasons.
The game against New Jersey was a special one for Dawson Mercer. The former Devils forward opened the scoring, then scored the game-winner in the third period. Between those goals, Winnipeg had surrendered a two-goal lead in just 44 seconds. Special teams came to the rescue: the hosts scored twice on the power play and did not concede while shorthanded. Kyle Connor also scored twice, taking his season tally to 15 goals. The 4:2 victory was their fourth in a row. Josh Morrisseyβs return is also worth noting: after missing 14 games, he played more than 24 minutes straight away.

Total Goals Prediction
More than 5.5 goals have been scored in eight straight Winnipeg Jets games. Dallas Stars have scored an average of 3.14 goals in their recent home games, while Winnipeg Jets have allowed 5.0 in their recent away games. However, the total has stayed under 6.5 goals in nine of the last 10 head-to-head games in Dallas: that trend is compatible with the selected over if exactly six goals are scored. We pick Over 5.5 Goals in the Game at odds of 1.97.
Reliable Bet
Winnipeg Jetsβ last eight games have all featured over 5.5 goals, so the total has also gone over 4.5 in every one. Dallas Stars have scored an average of 3.14 goals in their recent home games, while Winnipeg Jets have allowed 5.0 in their recent away games. Weβre backing Over 4.5 Goals in the Game at odds of 1.4.

βοΈ Editor's Pick
After being shut out by Carolina, Winnipeg seemed to remember how to score. In each of their next four games, the Jets scored at least four goals in regulation, averaging 4.5 goals per game. Now they face a much tougher test. Dallas are tied with Boston for the fewest goals allowed in the league, although they have conceded exactly three goals per game on average over their last five. The Stars do not always manage to contain their opponents even when defending well, as the game against San Jose showed. Winnipeg are currently dangerous both at even strength and on the power play. My pick is Winnipeg Team Total Over 2 Goals.
