Thatcher Demko vs. Jake Oettinger
Two high-flying teams collide as Vancouver wraps up its road trip against a powerhouse Dallas squad. Between the pipes, we’ve got Thatcher Demko vs. Jake Oettinger (Projected) in a goaltending showdown!
Demko was dialed in against Nashville, turning aside 31 of 32 shots in a clutch 3-1 win. He’s had an up-and-down stretch, but when he’s locked in, he can steal games. Can he rise to the challenge against the Stars?
Oettinger, meanwhile, has been racking up wins despite some shaky outings. He edged out Vegas in overtime, improving to 25-11-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .912 SV%. Expect a heavy workload as Dallas looks to defend home ice.
Who takes this one? Buckle up—it’s gonna be a battle!

4* Free NHL Hockey Betting Prediction: Canucks +1.5
When it comes to a straight moneyline bet, look no further than the Stars. Nevertheless, given the payout of -174, you could also think about incorporating this bet into a parlay.
My recommended pick for the puck line is to take the Canucks to cover. Even if the Stars win straight-up, this one should be close throughout and the Canucks should cover the puck line.
With an over/under line sitting at 5.5 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
