Columbus Blue Jackets vs Dallas Stars Predictions

Columbus has reasons to challenge the favorite

Dallas is a -185 moneyline favorite, with Columbus at +154. The Stars are -1.5 on the puck line, while the 5.5 total is priced at -105 for the over and -115 for the under.

The Columbus Blue Jackets' official NHL.com preview reports that Columbus has won three straight meetings with Dallas. Kent Johnson also enters with a three-game point streak and a team-high seven goals among his 11 points through 11 games. Zach Werenski has nine assists in 10 games, including three across his past two contests. Those results make Dallas difficult to back at an expensive price.

Prediction

The -185 price makes Dallas the likely winner, but there isn't enough current information to justify a wager. No probable goalies, injuries, confirmed lineups, team records or recent results are available, so the pass applies to the moneyline, puck line and total. The listed 50-50 split is a default figure rather than sourced public-betting data and carries no weight.
