Winnipeg Jets vs. Dallas Stars Prediction: Pass on Dallas at -205
Analysis updated October 22, 2026 at 7:20 AM CDT
Jake Oettinger’s projected numbers favor Dallas, but neither starting goalie is confirmed and the available evidence does not support a wager at the SPF price.
Oettinger gives Dallas the edge
Dallas is the likely winner at home, but its -205 moneyline demands more certainty than this matchup offers. Daily Faceoff lists Jake Oettinger and Winnipeg’s Stuart Skinner as the projected starters for Thursday’s 8:00 PM ET game, but neither goalie is confirmed.
The hockey news and statistics site daily.hockey lists Oettinger at 4-2-1 with a .945 save percentage and 1.13 goals-against average through seven games. Skinner is listed at 3-1-2 with a .910 save percentage and 2.65 goals-against average through six. Those early numbers favor Dallas if both projections hold, but they do not make -205 an attractive price.
No stronger alternative market
Both teams last played October 20 and enter with one day of rest, so scheduling offers no clear advantage. Winnipeg’s +1.5 puck line provides protection against a close loss, but the available evidence includes no team records, recent results or season performance data to justify backing it.
The total is 5.5, with over -122 and under +102. Oettinger’s early results point toward the under, but an unconfirmed starter and the lack of broader team data make a total bet too speculative. The best betting decision is to pass.
