The Dallas Stars are taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins in this tilt. The Penguins were victorious in their last game against the Colorado Avalanche. The Dallas Stars, however, were defeated at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Dallas Stars have gotten off to a terrible start this year. Their top offensive weapons have not been playing well and they haven’t kept pucks out of their net like last year.
The Penguins have been great so far, with only 2 losses on the season. They have done so without Evgeni Malkin and they come into this game with their top line of a 5 game point streak.
Dallas Stars
The Dallas Stars problems start first and foremost with their inability to put the puck in the net. They are currently dead last in the NHL with 1.88 goals per game. You are not going to win many games with that number.
Roope Hintz is currently leading the team is scoring with 5 points in 8 games. Jamie Benn and Joe Pavelski have 2 points each. Will this team be able to find offense after another quiet night?
The Stars come into this one relatively healthy as they just got Corey Perry back. It wouldn’t be wise to expect the aging Corey Perry to be what gets this offense churning, but maybe it will give them a boost.

Pittsburgh Penguins
The Pittsburgh Penguins come into this game having been victorious over the Colorado Avalanche last night. Their top line is rolling now and Matt Murray has been good this season.
They have what it takes to continue winning games, even without the likes of the talented Evgeni Malkin. I do wonder what happens if a team finds a way to shut down the top line.
Depth scoring looks considerably weaker for the Pens this year, after trading away Phil Kessel. It is possible Jared McCann returns tonight, but Galchenyuk and Malkin are out indefinitely.

Free Dallas Stars vs. Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Prediction:
It should be pretty obvious that I like the Penguin’s chances in this one. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a high scoring game due to the Stars anemic offense. You could bet the under but I’m going for the safe bet.
