Winnipeg Jets vs Dallas Stars: Game 3 Forecast, Commencement Time, and Betting Odds

Lighting Up the Scoreboard: Predicting Over 5.5 Goals in Game 3 between the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets

Get ready for a high-scoring affair as the Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets lock horns in Game 3 of their Round 2 series! With the Stars favored as -146 moneyline favorites, the Jets, as +126 underdogs, will be aiming to snag their first road victory of the playoffs and keep their Western Conference Finals hopes alive.

Let's dive into our Game 3 prediction and break down why we're betting on the Over 5.5 goals (-110 at Caesars).

The Stars and Their Scoring Might

Boasting one of the best offensive teams in the league during the regular season, the Dallas Stars ranked third in scoring. Their formidable home offense, which averaged 3.41 goals per game, positions them well to combust against a shaky Jets' defense.

Connor Hellebuyck's Road Struggles

It's no secret that Winnipeg's star goalie, Connor Hellebuyck, has struggled to shine outside the ManuLife Centre in Winnipeg. In three of his four road starts so far, Hellebuyck has been torched, letting in at least five goals in each game. Unsurprisingly, the heated matches produced a total of 22 goals among them.

Dallas Goaltending Concerns

While Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger has shown his value in previous games, he didn't quite save the day in Game 2, with three goals conceded on 24 shots. Despite the Stars boasting a solid home record, the Over has hit in three of their four home games played so far in the playoffs.

With all this evidence stacked up, here's your chance to go against the trend and take a flier on the Over in Game 3.

Dallas took three of four home games in the Round 1 series, posting a strong 28-10-3 home record during the regular season, making the home-ice advantage a crucial factor for the Stars. Winnipeg, on the other hand, demonstrated a remarkable ability to win on the road during the regular season, with a 26-15-0 record, as the NHL's top road team. However, they've yet to show their prowess in these playoffs, having failed to win a single road game yet.

Make sure to get your bets locked in on the Jets to win Game 1 at +126, with Fanduel offering the Stars as -146 moneyline favorites. Fight for the total, with -110 stakes on both the Over and Under. Find the Stars laying 1.5 goals on the puck line, with +185 odds to cover.

Remember, always gamble responsibly!

  • Dallas is receiving 59% of all moneyline bets, while 51% of the money is backing Winnipeg.
  • The general public also believes in the Over, as 73% of the bets and 66% of the money expect at least six goals combined.

Now, strap in for a thrilling adventure in Game 3, as we aim to break the recent low-scoring trend and ride the tide of the Over!
