Hockey Match 2 Odds, Forecasts, and Wagers for the Stars vs Jets Showdown on Friday Evening
Let's dive into the second round playoff series between the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets. The Stars have already nabbed home ice advantage in this heated series, but can they extend their lead to 2-0 tonight in the NHL playoff bracket?
Well, the online sportsbooks don’t seem to think so, and neither do I. Puck drop for Game 2 happens tonight at 9:30 pm ET at the Canada Life Center, in Winnipeg, MB, with TNT and truTV providing the broadcast coverage.

According to the NHL public betting trends, 69% of bettors predict that the Jets will hold their ground at home tonight, and take a series split back to Dallas.
Stars vs Jets Predictions
My prediction lines up with the market tonight. The Jets have been exceptional at home all season, with Connor Hellebuyck, the Vezina Trophy odds favorite, stopping 26 of 29 pucks in Game 7 versus the Blues, and following up with a 21 save effort in Wednesday's Game 1 loss.
The Jets surrendered less than two goals per game on home ice during the regular season, and they’re getting some reinforcements back on the blueline with top defenseman Josh Morrissey expected to return for Game 2. Captain Mark Scheifele made a comeback for Game 1 after a two-game absence, helping the Jets dictate the play, out-possessing the Stars, and limiting Dallas to 2.75 expected goals.
Stars vs Jets Game 1 Advanced Stats
Stars' superstar Mikko Rantanen scored two more goals in Game 1, bringing his total to 6 in the last 7 Stars' goals. While this is quite impressive, Rantanen’s line produced only 0.42 expected goals. This marks the second straight game where Rantanen has significantly overachieved, after exceeding his expected goals total by 1.69 in Game 7 versus the Avs.
Bottom Line
The Stars need more contributions from their other skaters if they want to be a legitimate Stanley Cup odds contender. Back the Jets tonight on the moneyline, and also consider betting over 2.5 goals for the Jets.
