Darcy Kuemper vs. Jake Oettinger
Buckle Up! It’s a goaltending showdown in Dallas as Darcy Kuemper and Jake Oettinger take center stage!
Kuemper is locked in —he’s fresh off stopping 21 of 23 shots in a commanding 5-2 win over Vegas. The veteran netminder has been a brick wall lately, riding a four-game win streak while keeping opponents to three goals or fewer in each. January? Dominant. February? Still perfect at 4-0-0!
Meanwhile, Oettinger had a rough go last time out, surrendering five in a 6-4 loss to Columbus. He was beaten just 30 seconds in and never quite recovered. But don’t count him out—elite goalies bounce back, and tonight, he’s got redemption on his mind.

Going into the matchup, the total was set at 6.5 goals, and the combined score of 6 came up just short. Dallas, as the underdog on the puck line, failed to cover.

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Kings +1.5
If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Stars to take down the Kings at home. With the moneyline currently at -139, I’m placing my bet on the Stars straight-up.
When it comes to my suggested pick for the puck line, I’d advise taking the Kings to cover. Even in the event of a Stars victory, this matchup is likely to remain closely contested, and the Kings should cover the puck line.
With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to stay under that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the UNDER.
